That Place Called School

A place where a person tried to run over me with a car

A place where we apparently can’t bring drugs or we’ll be put behind bars

A place where majority of the kids have no future

A place where no one pays respect to those teachers

A place where I’m stuck eight hours a day

A place where I’m sent to the office if I’m caught getting away

A place where I can’t speak my mind to the idiots who shouldn’t be allowed to live

A place where if I do, I’ll again go to the office for being “offensive”

A place where few are actually themselves

A place where fakes and wannabees dwell

A place where I guess not everyone can be friends

A place where to be cool, you need to keep up with the latest trends

A place where if you’re different you’re labeled a loser

A place where if you’re friends with the different, you’re…..also a loser

A place where I’m shy if I’m quiet, but I’m obnoxious if I’m loud

A place where we all try to fit in with the crowd

A place where people care too much about the little things

 A place where we’re all happy when the bell rings

A place called school

 

 

Fitting in with a crowd and their changeable ways is almost impossible anyway. You express this most successfully. Reading your poem I was glad too when the school bell rang for close of day.  What confusion.

Thank you! The only bell I

Thank you! The only bell I like is the last one. Because the rest just mean i have to go to class. except lunch. but usually i'm doing last-minute work durin lunch....and yeah, fitting in takes effort that i just kind of gave up on in seventh grade.

I'll see if I know someone

I'll see if I know someone who has it! I wish lived in fairyland. but then it would be kind of weird, because i'm human and all. I mean, because i'm a mermaid and all. I wouldn't fit in with the other fairies.
