Don't try
You gave me my first detention
Ever
For not paying attention
Once
And you gave me my first failing grade
However, I tried so hard
In the one subject I hate
You're biased, but you think you're being fair
You favorite those dumb popular smiles and clueless minds
But yell at and pick on those who actually care
How the hell did you even get a degree to become a teacher?
How many students have you really tried to reach out to and failed?
How many times have you listened instead of only seeing our color?
Don't tell us who we are or who we will become because of the way we dress
Don't say that we don't try, because that's not motivating us any further
Don't automatically think that we're overreacting and we're just careless
9/10 teens that are different from the "normal" sexual orientation are being harrassed
Do you even realize that the bullying also means from teachers?
We're tired of dreading to go to school or class
Being a teacher is also being a hero, but then
Do you realize what you educators are teaching us exactly?
Once you tried and failed, don't try again.
