First Entry:

The prison that binds us all together,
The freedom we cannot have outside the gate,
The effort we put in to prove we are alike,
The work we all hate but must complete,
Together with those you'd never abandon,
Laughing off the pain we must face alone,
Worrying over the grade we've received,
Proud over the things we never did before,
A prison to those who wish they had more,
A freedom to those who have no peace of mind,
An effort that may not always pay off,
But school is a place I wouldn't want to give up.
