When I was in grade 9, I made a poem that shook my whole entire class
My Life
When I was young. I was a very happy and crazy kid but I was not smart or a goodie to shoo. When I was a baby I had a big seizure that made my dad pass out. When I was in playschool I got a horrible cut on my right eyebrow. But now I have a cool scar and that's when I met me best friend named Jay.
When I was in grade 1 I didn’t like this one teacher because she got in my face and yelled at me and her voice boomed through the school because I was a nervous kid and I chewed on pencils. But thanks to that teacher because now I cry every time someone yells at me. And on that same night, I dropped a glass cup on the floor and it shattered now I have anxiety about glass breaking.
But the playground was like a battlefield, kids didn’t let other kids in groups and then kids cried because of the war out there. But the sad thing that happened was my butterfly friend named Banana died on the playground and I was only 6 years old.
Though my life people called me names that made me cry. When I was 5 or 6 I sprained my right ankle. The coolest place I wanted was the hotel with my cousins. I lost things that were close to me. I hated people and loved people. I had friends that stayed with me and people that left me. I had enemies.
In 2020 my Pappy died and I thought it should have been me in the bed instead of him cuz I don’t like to see my Gamma or my Mom cry. When I got to school I read something to the class and that was the first time I cried in front of people that weren’t my family. And I felt people’s hand’s on my back they didn’t laugh at me or call me a cry baby they comfort me. Sometimes I cried and I thought the world didn’t need me… but
it does because of my friends. So that’s my story what’s yours?
