To the Next Class

Walking and walking,

Don't bother talking,

It'll waste energy,

And I have none to waste

 

My knees are buckling, 

My brain is tiring,

Staring at the students who walk ahead of me.

 

I had PE today,

Hurts my legs 

and hurts my brain.

 

Up the stairs, one by one,

So much fun.

 

It's probably my fault,

Too many books.

I don't use my locker

Like I should.

 

I climb through the hall and open the door,

I then throw my pack

Onto the floor.

Tired I am,

Sore, too,

But I made it now!

Phew!

    “When you’re living on your knees you rise up.”

    Some people are on their knees because

    They’re bowing down to him.

    Some people are on their knees because

    They’re hopeless.

     

    Here, take my hand.
