Yes, I am the nerd!
I am the young lady in the front of the class,
the overachiever,
the goody two shoes,
I am the smart one!
I talk with grammatical effectiveness!
I have the answers!
I work!
When we're 5 we say the darnest things,
And think we will grow up to have wings.
A year goes by and we start school,
We see learning letters is really cool.
Next fall it gets a little harder,
We say that education is a right...
Yet there remains an inequality
If parents can afford to send their child to private school..
They are already at a higher level
A dam, walled and secure.
So many ideas, yet not one will come forth.
A twitch of the finger-
A thought, do I have one?
-Only to fall flat again.
Blue and purple,
Blended in the cavities on my face.
