Eyes are watching as I walk

Ears are listening as I talk

As I move from room to room

Wonder if I'll meet my doom

Rules are posted on gray wall

Guards with guns make my skin crawl

Walkie-talkies everywhere

Waiting for our next beware

In a place where bully's play

Everyone potential prey

Listen to the hate speech bloom

Fills our day with endless gloom

Lunch room is a daunting scene

Packed together like sardines

If violence were to intrude

Exit would not be subdued

School not a good place to learn

Often place where stomach churns

Wish I could escape this place

Need to learn in peaceful space
