School

I went to the pool
Where the waters so cool
To get away from school
Because everybody there is acting like a fool
And it's sometimes so hard to follow all the rules
I hate being concealed between all the concrete walls
Then stepping out into the echoing halls
Because they contain all the falls
And rises in my life
And it's causing me a lot of strife
