Mediocre Me
We are pushed to be perfect everyday
Ridiculed when average at best
I do not care
I will not care
My father screamed and tore out his hair
six year old me spelt a word wrong again
I do not care
I will not care
He posts up big like a tree
" Write it twenty times over," he said.
I do not care
I will not care
I did my first grade class work wrong
My teacher screams at me again
I do not care
I will not care
Apparently I have ADD.
The doctor gives me pills to eat
I do not care
I will not care
my appetites gone with some of my weight
From taking the pills I truly hate
They do not care
They will not care
I'm sent to the principles everyday
because of my C average in the sixth grade
They don't really care
They will never care
My grades drop lower and lower
I am diagnosed with chronic depression
I do not care
YOU DON'T CARE
More pills come with more side effects
I begin to have panic attacks
But they don't care
They never cared
Projecting themselves back on to me saying
"It's like you don't even care."
Now tell me please
How is this fair?
