poem please read and critic
As someone who has made endless mistakes I know it’s impossible not to. I remember sitting in the classroom as a child And always being the “perfect one.” And if I wasn’t, then I couldn’t look myself in the mirror. As if I had to prove to the world that I was smart. So I sat front of the classroom day by day Waiting to be recognized but all I ever was, Was the background. But I wasn’t even that. Sometimes I was just there. That broken piece that nobody cares about. I don’t fit in. I never have. I remember that day when you through my jacket on the ground. You stomped on it Until the playground sand had covered of every crevice. Thought you were funny I suppose. But I never said a word. I just walked over and looked in your empty eyes And I put the jacket on. And I walked away. Back to the 4 walled structure That told me who to be another one of its “pictures” And I believed that for a while. But it never worked for me. All they ever did was give me extended time And reteach and reteach. But that’s not how I learn. Isn’t insanity doing the same over and over again And expecting a different result? Because I was who I was and I am who I am. But I was still shoved in a squire day by day And when I was finally let out The rest of the world had molded And I was left alone… I was left to torture myself Into an epiphany of who I should be And I cant. And as an five year old girl I had already known that I sat in the dark. Because how could anyone comprehend the madness Of a child who speaks another language. I was taught English… But it always felt like I was speaking Shakespearean To the rest of the world. So no child could ever understand. Then I lost all my friends And I realized the truth. The world just didn’t have an excuse And my imperfections had to be abused… So I stuttered as you called me names. Because it was nothing worse than what I had told myself. Eventually I was a turtle trying to hide inside shell That was broken in half. A crake from you But let’s not forget the one caused by myself.

This poem is absolutely amazing. I've been there, done that, had all my self-worth derived from school and been lowest on the totem pole for it. This is how I felt, still do, sometimes, and I wish I would have remembered that I had more power in the situation than I thought I did, as the last two lines say. Thank you for your words.
