I Want Accommodations
If teachers only knew
The struggle I go through
Giving all this work
Like I have Nothing Else to do
I want accommodations
I need to be seen as an individual
Getting work according to my schedule
I am a full time student
And work throughout the week
Do not Judge ME
It was not a choice for me
I wish teachers would
Workout a separate plan for me
It’s not fair that I barely get to sleep
Week by Week, A long school day
Full day of work, hours of homework
Then Repeat
I know it must be sweet to be a normal kid
But I’m Not, Is It my fault that my family is large
Make Accommodations for me
If you would please because
If you really knew me, you would see
How much I care about My Education
But My Family comes First
So Do not Make me Choose
Between school and Work
Neither is an option
But a Need
Just help to accept me
By giving me work not loads
So That I may learn concepts and review
And still sleep without feeling guilty
It’s a struggle day in and Day out
If Teachers only knew
The Struggle I go through
I want accommodations
Not isolation
Let be Accepted for Who I am and What I do
I cannot change according to you
I want to be involved not excluded
Just don’t look at me like I’m stupid
Because I did not do All the work you assigned
Because I was already Sleep deprived
So I rest my eyes hoping to get an hour or two
But the sleep was so long past due
If only Teachers knew
