"Read these."

I see towers of books,
written in foreign languages.

I look up and see a pair of green eyes,
looking straight at me.

His gaze is very uncomfortable,
belittling me.

He slams down a tray.

I look down, and see food beyond the tower of books.

"If you finish up everything and answer every questionnaire right, you eat."

I blank out,
Processing his words,
Food is within my reach.

Is this what I should eat?

Read to eat,
Then I hear him say,

"Read."

There is no question,
Even without food,
I have to read.

There is no question,Even without food,I have to read
