In Sadness and In Doubt: A collection of poems

It's just school

"It's just school." They say, but I really do hate that place 

I hate the noises and the crowds and the people who always bring me down day after day and they just won't go away 

I hate the teachers who don't seem to care how I fare from their stare

I hate class discussions and presentations and the hesitation I get because of the situation 

I hate the cafeteria and the way the bacteria clings to the surfaces without a purpose

I hate the un-sturdy chairs, the dirty glairs, and the despair I get from going there 

I hate the anxiety and the way that society doesn't understand how I can't just expand and do as they demand 

I hate school, and you can't change my mind, and I know that seems unkind, but those three words are intertwined in my mind
