Escape Room

When I turned 9
I had an escape room party
We spent the whole time laughing,
Making jokes like friends

Recently, my life has been an escape room
My sister hates me
My mom is nonexistent
My dad? An alcoholic

School?
My homeroom teacher doesn't care
Unless I get 100%
The kids all harass me
And call me names
While I struggle recover

Looking at it again
Escape rooms aren't fun
You don't laugh or make jokes
You just long for a way to get out
