You Are Out
I suffer at home
Do you like the show?
I suffer at school
Do you like to be cruel?
I struggle to cry
There’s no reason why
The tears don’t come out
It’s like there’s a drought
It may be syndrome
of broke eyes at home
I work like a fool
at this place called high school
Must I just try?
But why, that’s a lie
It’s like there’s no doubt
That I’m just the clout
A chess piece to loan
Out to broken players I go
I am no jewel
Rather, just a working mule
To spit on while others cry
To play with while others die
That’s what I’m all about
That’s why my tears have a drought
This poem is about:
Me
