Every day I go to school
I am invisible
Nobody sees me, nobody cares
I wish they still knew I was here
Oh brother, Oh sister
I wish you knew
The lie I told
But the happy smile you give me is
Everything
The fame I claim to have
My friends
The life
Is all a lie
When the sun goes down and the stars come up
I wish upon every star
That tomorrow I won't be invisible
The alarm clock I hear
Is the start of my day
to test if my wish
Is granted
Today.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
