Tired

I’m tired.

Tired of being another number on an attendance sheet.

I’m tired of waking early to work all day

I’m tired of a system made for the privileged 

Tired of them letting me suffer.

I’m tired.

I’m tired of them being allowed to tear me down

Tired of the privileged being given a pass.

I’m tired of being pushed aside.

I’m tired of being a number in a grade book.
