Privately Tutored.

By Saschwann

Pierced through each eye my brain throbs

Forced to try and teach to these blobs

Flesh formed into Human shapes - a disguise

No brain with truth or knowleddge - purely lies

Learn the things you need for this life

The way you're going you'll buckle at any strife

Cry and say I don't know how hard it is for you

Then I think of myself at your age and what I had to do

I was beatened, battered, and bruised every single day

Trapped in my mind by words I was never allowed to say

Trapped in my body that didn't belong to me

Given to the latest bed predator every night for free

And I still had to make sure that things got done

When it came down to it I had a house to run

My brothers needed fed and taken care of

Even if I couldn't show them happiness I could show them love

So tell me again why you can't get your work done?

You hate your mom, your life's hard, you have no fun?

Your mom gives you everthing you ask her for

I know it must be hard... always wanting more

You didn't like school and that is why I'm here

But with me you will learn, so there's no need to fear


So shut your mouth and dry your eyes



Sit down and memorize these lies.
