Nothing…really!

I thought I was something
Or does that change when the school bell rings
I thought my weight was fine
Until at school I did dine
I thought my hair looked nice
The cool group obviously thought twice
I thought my clothes were ok
Until I went to class that day
I thought I was cool
Until I went to school

I thought you were my friend
Or did that go at summers end?
I thought you would find me on the first day
Or did you say stay away?
I thought we walked to the same drum
Now you don’t need your summer chum
I thought I was alright
Until you told me to get out of sight
I thought you were cool
Until I went to school

Breaking news!

I don’t need your group
I don’t want to hang with a hurtful troop
I don’t need your little game
I don’t want the petty and lame
I don’t want your friends
I don’t need you when the school year ends
I don’t need to be cool
Just to go to school

I am. I was at a teachers workshop and we had to write or come up with two things (I chose poems) that represent what we see happen in the schools that we are in. That is why I wrote this one and What?

A lot of people don't understand how true that is! You're a teacher?? So is my mother! People who teach deserve a huge reward, I don't see how they do it. Great write!
