The Invisible Student 

The days swoosh by, yet time stands still

You are seen but unseen

Hard shoves and judgment in the halls

Always the same routine

Your stomach turns for the unknown

Nerves control your body

There is no use in looking up

It is way too foggy  

Books develop the strong-minded

but destroy the figure

Pressure pushes down onto you

Everything’s a trigger

Relationships formed, but not used

Words exchanged, but unheard

Innocence gone but still hoped for 

Applications due on the third 

Sleep becomes unfamiliar

Life turns into a game

You only either win or lose 

 You soon become ashamed
