It was the end of sophomore year when I found out.

My heart stopped,

time stopped,

and there was a not in my chest.

The common core was being established to our tiny school,

and I was put into the downward doggie postion!

I worked so hard to make sure I could be in drama my Junior year,

to make sure I could partcipate in every dramatic activity.

You screwed me over!

Now I am stuck in Math III wondering what I could be doing in drama.

Couldn't you see?

I know I could see you cringe when I asked to sacrafice my lunch,

When I asked to be put into Math II,

When my parents got invovled.

Could you not see that even when I was puking sick, I pulled myself to that class?

Nobody cares about how to solve a quadratic equation,

even the Math teacher didn't plan on becoming a Math teacher!

You're all puppets hiding behind our government, too scared to stand up.

Our own teachers cringe in fear for the direction our school is headed.

In my last two years I swear,

I will be your living hell.

For Acting is what I live for and the only thing that brings me to school,

and you will not hear the last of me.

Unlike the Teachers and the administration, I will stand up.

Don't silence me because I am a student!

Silence me only when others want their voice heard.

A student who makes an impact will look better than your straight A puppetts,

and you'll watch me succeed,

you'l watch me inspire,

and you can't stop me,

or them.
