Cinnamon girl

a poem about a song that hit me hard, cinnamon girl, please please give me feedback and tell me how to improve.

cinnamon girl,

that's what he called me

cinnamon girl, 

that's what I was 

sweet, sensitive,

feminine, but most of all scared

It wasn't until fourth period math

that I realised I wasn't scared 

we were correcting algebra 

I tried to hide  

and yet something terrible happend

I was called on

scared, 

scared that I would make a mistake

my teacher looked dissapointed 

and in front of everyone said 

''you don't trust yourself'' 

it was like he knew me better them myself 

of course he was only talking about

my ability and confidence in math 

but it was at that moment that I realised how

much trust in myself that I lack. 

Author's Note

it's one of my least favorite poems but my English teacher liked it so please tell me truthfully

Had a crush on my moey long brown curly haired math teacher mr Zappia in third form dark handsome Italian he was probably long dead hope not

Enjoyed your write
If another persons poem can take them instantly back to their childhood memories or high school memories then you did it
Poetry speaks to people

Neil young sang it maybe your teacher liked Neil young too look him up

thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. If I may, what you think I need/could improve, I'd love to be a poet someday and so this truly does mean a lot to me.
