Hell on Earth

School is hell on earth

Teachers are winged monsters
they talk my head into the ground
badger me with constant questions

Other children, firery demons
Black and pink dragon with pointed nails
and handbags like bombs

Classrooms are torture chambers
small rooms of pain and fear
Bolted windows, chanin bound doors.

Lunch and break are prisons too
I am imprisoned in loneliness
Locked up in my own emotions

Hometime is the only escape
a refuge for the night
The heaven from hell.

But come daybreak
my torture starts again...

In very brief:

You've got a subject that's apt. School as a prison, peers and such--but you're telling more as if it were prose than describing.

School is hell on earth


'Hell on Earth' -- well yes, but what does hell on earth look like?

It would be both amusing and morbid to hear what these 'demons' look like, how they're demonic. Why are they called demons? They're annoying. Rather an anticlimax.

I'd advise you to go over it and tear it to pieces. Find a rhythm for your words and a picture and feeling for them--so that the readers can see it as well as you can. ^_^
