Diamond in the Rough
Location
Mr.nameless switch seats
with me, walk in my shoes
as a modern day urban student
whos odds have been stacked against him
Feels like I've been sent in a
school of fishes who cant swim
an ive been blessed with a
a big fin
im in a class of loud mouth assholish seniors
who cant speak or spell an yet you decide to choose
them to be readers
We walk into an objective on the board
notes an a worksheet
you get frustrated when interrupted
an spit threats of suspension an write ups
when you speak
when you relize no ones listening you give up
and give the work with no direction
answering no questions and giving no suggestions
like a substitute you sit there and read
and look up with an occasional glance
hoodlums with tatoos an sagged pants
an no chance of success
talk loudly interupting my thought process
theres no contest between I an them
but they are interupting my consentration
an my only reort is music
but once put in the ear phones you
give a warning of confiscation
See Mr.Nameless
i have a future an i refuse to let
this stop me
I have a family to support much like you
So dispite you
and these other obstacles
I still find it possible to get out of this hell called class
because the fruits of my labor will be to pass
So if you refuse to help me an realize that im serious
I'll step on you along with the others
(bell rings)
Goodbye first period
