    I gaze and stare at the chalkboard

    hearing the teacher's words

    roll out of her mouth

    like the pre-recorded msg on the 900 number

    I'm the crazed little kid

    sitting in the front row

    with an almost depressing look to me

    my senses are alert and receptive cuz

    I have this want, no NEED to

    learn what's going on in my head

    unfortunalty a wall of stupidity blocks

    all the much needed info

    I sit in this classroom and look around

    yet I see nothing but darkness

    funny thing is I'm not blindfolded They Are!

    They cause my darkness in this classroom of life

    I converse with my surroundings

    and continue to hear my teacher

    speaking her words of meaningless wisdom

    as I slowly give up hope

    I sink back into my own confused and distorted world

    as the need for a connection goes back to it's little

    corner in my head, near my stupidty wall

    The pre-recorded msg plays on as

    the darkness and I sit together in the shadows of the

    classroom of life
