I think my self-perfection, is driving my depression.
And although I grow older, mom’s still looking o’er my shoulder
I think she’s meddling again.
And I feel helpless when in school, of freedom I tend to drool.
It’s not realistic now, but I wish, just, oh…somehow
That I could graduate on time.
A six year undergrad, and things still continue to look bad…
Once more I’m their bitch. Where’s that fucking fast-forward switch?
Where’s the life I lead in summer?
Edu-what? This is shit…Crap! Fuck! @&$! (pardon the fit)
I should sell my books; it’s like all the pages give me looks.
Saying: You paid too much for this hell.
Coffee day and night and still I have to fight;
I can’t seem to stay here, in the present where I fear,
I must obey what the whiteboard says.
God, I can’t wait to leave! This alma mater, I should cleave.
But first I have to get through day one…after all, school’s only just begun
…again.
Please tell me what you think

Nice anger... I think that the feeling by this poem for me is nicely summed up in the song by Creedence Clearwater Revival entitled "Someday Never Comes"
Here's just the song on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwNuQulK6N0
What I draw from it is this, nothing is free, including the freedom alluded to in your poem. You can pay the price or continue to be shackled. Take action and give up on some dreams in order to do so, or hold onto those dreams and stay put.
Anyways gimme a call when you get the chance, I wanna know what's new.
