grades

Either a letter, check mark, or numerical percentage, awarded to students to serve as an arbitrary means of evaluating one’s academic performance regarding various scholarly subjects and thus assessing one’s comparative worth against his/her pupils. Grades originated out of social necessity through individuals who were too stupid to recognize whether or not someone had any intellectual value without a universal standard to measure by.

The most stupid example of grades is the minus/plus system, which penalizes the achievers and rewards the slackers.

truth

1. The Abominable Snowman of society; a mythic legend which many swear by and is not without some minute traces of tangible evidence to add credence to the possibility of its existence.
2. What some seek to find, and others to escape.

They say the truth will set you free.
But I’ve been a prisoner to lies for so long I’ve practically become institutionalized.
Though I no longer pace between the gloomy corners of my shady cell, I do not believe that I can ever truly “be free.”
Not as long as I continue to fear my truth, while still taking refuge in my lies.
