The Hell You Don't See - Lyrics Feedback

I wrote this song over 3 years ago in response to some school shootings across the country and a suicide attempt by one of my students in a class I cadet taught for in high school.
----------------------------------------------------

Verse:

She sits in the back of the classroom,
no sound comes out of her mouth,
little do we know,
back there alone,
her heart (or mind or eyes-help!) is screamin' out loud.
She goes home and things never get better,
she wonders why she's still alive,
so she pops that bottle of pills,
but somehow she survives.
And she screams...

Chorus:

Save me
from this monotony,
Can't you see?
Home is hell for me...

Verse 2:
He walks down his dark dusty hallway,
to a room where no friend has been,
his walls are plastered
with nightmares he's drawn
of the world he feels trapped in.
He wonders if this is the answer,
this gun that's in his right hand
Walkin' in to school,
he wishes they'd know
and that they could understand.
And he screams...

Chorus:
Save me
from this monotony,
Can't you see?
Life is hell for me.

Bridge:
Why can't you open your eyes?
Are you afraid
of what you might see?
Why do you turn away?
Why can't I get what I need?

Chorus:
Save me
from this monotony
How hard is it to see?
You've made this hell for me.

Only a four star because the chorus needs to be longer. The verses are brilliant and tell the story perfectly... but the chorus needs to be a bit longer and catchier. Remember repetition is the key to a good chorus
