After school ✏️

In Grade school

The kids were so mean...

They'd stare at me and Giggle behind my back...

In High School

I got better with

Pretending,

Nothing could break me down...

My Teacher said to write down

How you feel,

In our secret

Journals...

I'd write down

All of my emotions

Starting With:

I don't

Want to sit with those kids...

But I don't want to sit alone...

I saw my Teacher

Cry...

I thought adults were Braver

Then I had known...

In High School

I started

Reality

Dating,

And my mind

Got distracted,

I was hooked

On Loving

Instead of

Being

Hooked

On phonics...

You Broke my

Heart in mathematics...

But My teacher declared

Write Down, How you are feeling...

I started with:

I don't want to sit with those

Kids...

But I don't want to sit alone...

Whenever

I needed

To escape,

I'd just write in my

Journal...

I said:

I don't want to sit, with those kids...

But I don't want to sit alone...

I should have

Never

Accepted

That note from

You.

Why did you break

My heart

In a letter...

Thank God I read it

After school...

I wanted to Transfer…

I wanted to sob...

I wanted to ask you if you think

We can have another shot?

We told everyone else we broke up, but you never said why?

I just couldn't wait for

After School Id go home and Cry...
