I sit in front of you today,

To learn what I will be one day.

Eyes open with thoughts to share,

But knowing that you just don't care.

Another student of the huddled masses

That you think are just a bunch of asses.

I want to prove I know things too,

And that what you say might not be true

But if I tell you that

You'll think I'm nothing but a rat.

I hope you see who I really am,

A student who wants to learn like the rest of them.
