the right hand

5 1 2
                                        

The pencil was taken

"Wrong hand, girl!"

Into the other hand it went

"This is the correct hand!"

I pick up another

Two now in my left hand

I look up

"Is this correct now?"

This is not my best poem. In fact, it's horrible. I basically forced this out because it was for an assignment in school last year. As a lefthander, I was always getting corrected by my teachers, and my current teacher refuses to accept the fact that I write with my left hand, continuing to put me on the right side of the desk. 

It will get better, really. Growth, you know.
