I look up at him

Another teacher disappointed

I think of what my mom said

You're just a big disappointment


No matter what I do I can’t please them

I raise my grades some more hoping to get a smile

A good job and a pat on the back is all I need

But no matter what I do they still hate me


As leave the classroom thinking that I escaped it

It’s still in my head

Unorganized, idiot, she’s smart but she doesn’t try

Your such a disappointment

It’s everywhere I go


 I wish to be myself 

But the more I am me 

The  more they are upset

Everyone always says “Be yourself”


But they don’t want that 

they want me to be who they are

But I’m not

I will never be them and be me
I guess then I shall never be me
