Every Day

Every Day I sit

In a spine-crushing chair.

And I’m not sure how I take it,

The nicotine in the air

Do the others even care?

I’m shaking in my chair.

 

Every day I walk

Through the overwhelming hall

The others loudly talk

And stand around and stall

And they do not care at all

I’m stumbling through the hall

 

Every day I come

To the horrid place called school

They’ll make you feel so dumb

So kids pretend they’re cool

But it’s making you a ghoul

I’m struggling in school.

  • Misunderstood

    A kid simplified and broken down

    Reduced to a microphone in their hand,

    The notes that leave their lips.

    This child is more than this.

     

    “You are my daughter”

  • Brown Eyes

    I felt the coldness of eyes on me. Looking up, I see a boy with chocolate eyes, staring into my soul. My heart skips a beat, but it’s not a good feeling like in the books, no.
