Why I Write


Wipe that smile off your face!

Your NOT a teacher or the RIGHT race!

Whatever i say goes - so dont waste your voice

BEFORE I TAKE IT!

 

No me importa! Ella no entiende!

She doesnt know her rights

Podemos hacer lo que queremos

I SAID BE QUIET! Im the teacher and IM TALKING!

 

Who can you tell...

The principal and dean are BOTH on my side!

 

No where to run no where to hide

No point to run 

No point to hide

It wont make a difference

I need school to succeed

 

NO, a book is all I need

 

A book to accept me for me

A book to appreciate what I have to say

A book to not knock me down but to help build me up

Because Im fed up

 

FED UP

Fed up with the oppresion

The disrespect

From those I should idolize

 

So Yes!

That is why I chose to write those lines!
