A Student's Life...

I drag my bag to class all day, 
All night I study, awake I stay.
I study for examinations hard,
Just hoping, aspiring, that I will pass.

Project submissions haunt me all night, 
Homework assignments give me a fright!
In school, all I think of is the school bell's clang, 
And then everything in my head goes bang!

Cause "then my heart with pleasure fills", 
And all is well and fine, until - 

I shockingly and abruptly am
Brought back to my senses.
The realisation leaves me stunned, 
Once more I am surrounded by those fences...

That bind me from my freedom
To run around and play,
I'm stuck with all this homework,
I'm missing out on the day!

Only when the slow change suddenly starts accelerating does the frog realise it just signed its own death warrant. It has already lost its strength to jump out! "The problem is that the human equivalent of the 'Bo...
