A Failed Member Of Society


Since i was little i was labeled as a failure

The only person who didnt see me that way is gone

All the adults decided that i don't get help

I don't need help

I don't get help

I don't deserve help

I don't how i ended up on this list

But i did

My last school told me to list 10 schools i'd like to go

They didn't actually think i could go to any on this list

They already decided that i'm going back to public

Im graduating in 2 years

My counselor wants me to get my GED

She doesnt think i can graduate with my schools diploma

My best friend could be valedictorian

No one has given up on her yet

They cant give up on her

She is destined for greatness

I'm not

I was destand as a failure the day i was born
