School

This is basically what I feel every morning, Monday through Friday before I go to school.

Why do I have to go
to this horrible prison
that they call
school
I'm teased
I'm taunted
my life is miserable
at school
they all hate me
I don't know why
maybe it's because
I do well in
school

Mom says they're jelous

Dad says I'm better

than them

all the girls

at school

they say to look ahead

I'll be successfull

some ten years

from now

but at the moment

I'm stuck in

school.

I like it. I like how you told about the struggles and difficulties of school. I also like how you put in what the mom, dad, and the girls gave motivation to the person telling this poem. I really like it, and I think you should write more poems like this.

Ooo, I really like this one. Because school does seem like a prison and people always say that later on, we'll be free and gone from it. But it doesn't matter because we're still stuck in it for now. I can most definently relate to this one :)

The struggles of school! How so glad I'm past that point and time. One must travel the path of school in hopes of a better future! Well written!

I totally understand this feeling (I'm going in my final year next year so woot)
And what you said really hits home and makes me remember back in intermediate when my parents said the exact same thing to me xD

I really like this poem, keep it up!

This is sad. I was one of those nerds who really enjoyed going to school. haha. However, that is not the point of this review. The point is to congratulate you on a fantastic piece of poetry. The line breaks do the punctuating, which I have to get used to as a writer. I am used to reading a poem until I hit a punctuation. However, I feel like this piece works either way in that if one were to read it straight through, they would feel out of breath. A feeling that is not good and it really puts them in the shoes of the author. I dunno, just a weird thing I like. :) Thank you very much for sharing this. I really enjoyed it.

This is my favorite poem you have posted. The line breaks separate and punctuate entities. Many times line breaks chop composition to indigestible, disruptive pieces. You strike a chord with any type of success story. Often, there are those who try to hold down with put downs but any worthwhile aspiration requires supreme determination.
