I get lost sometimes

I get lost sometimes

A Poem by young__simba
"

started off about school but with my thoughts changed topics which is how it got the name.

Get lost sometimes
only in my head
find myself in a dream 
that would kick me out of bed

stressed by a test 
I wake up in first period
cuffed by these walls 
I call it an arrest
Im half a second early to my next cell
Shut the door on my foot oh well
Maybe next time you will be on time!
maybe next time my books wont fall out my bag 
and they wont get kicked in the hall
Stop walking so slow?
Miss are listening at all.

Another late mark
Sometimes I'm like whatever 
Doesn't hurt me now 
But will end up on my record
Just another door shut on me 
Another opportunity
Divided into groups
they never taught us unity
Or loyalty, honesty, not even respect 
I can't tell a teacher when he's grabbing my neck
foul play but we didn't have a ref
Playing on the court he was playing with the tech
He wasn't in white classes like I was
never had a chance
I was taught to use my words
He was taught about his stance

Sorry Miss what you teach isn't relevant to me
Big words suffocate
Like im struggling to breath
Untamed and unnamed 
Just a number
Scars  cutting from situations
Hope I recover
Didn't cut myself
Don't even trust my self
Bad breakup 
I just stuff myself
Not with food
with these words of hope 
I can use them as tools
Wanna be a genius 
Sometimes feel like a fool 
Hope I beat the game 
One day change the rules
Apologize for rambling
Tensions heating up 
So excuse me for scrambling
Not good enough for you
Please tell me why
Correcting imperfections
Why are we living a lie
Do you ever sit and think
Should I even try
Not a second for that
Time to work not time to sigh

Pardon the lengthy speech 
I'm just letting go
working all night 
It'll pay off in the day 
perhaps not with money
but in another way 
Just the habit 
of pulling rabbits out of a hat
and making magic will
make the tragic situations
disappear 
It never happened
Or what they want us to believe
Sad the nicest people are the ones who get deceived
Don't know where I'm going with the topic of these lines 
I just couldn't stop it 
I get lost sometimes
