POEM STARTER
You are leaving for school for the first time. Write a poem describing how you feel about the adventure ahead.
You could write this from the perspective of any age student, preparing for the next type of school they will attend.
School, Respectfully Walk Out
School kinda sucks.
More than it used to.
And I’m not sure why,
Because I don’t even dislike the classes,
But that doesn’t stop me from dreading each and every one.
School is no fun.
Homework is somehow worse.
I don’t have as much time anymore
To do what I love.
And right now,
I really need the things that I love,
The things that make me happy.
It was never like this before.
The things here I used to enjoy
Haven’t changed, so I guess I have,
Must have.
And friends aren’t a bonus anymore.
If I think of my “happy” moments,
I feel like I’m watching someone else.
I don’t know if any of it’s real,
Or if I’m just blinded by the bad stuff.
