Get Me Away!

I hate my school,

It’s stinky and rotten,

I don’t fit in,

That’s the bottom truth.

I thought this school would be great,

The day came; I could hardly wait.

Then disappointment fell,

After three months,

I still had only one friend.

They don’t talk my language,

All they do is gossip and boys,

They’re “girly-girls”,

Not like me; not at all.

In my old school we’d toss a ball,

During break, in the hall.

Here if I mention it,

They stare at me and giggle,

And say “Dude! We’ll get sweaty!”

I hate all who brought me here,

I feel like a bound and trapped deer;

I have no escape route,

This madness is enough to make one shout,

And scream and tear, at their hair,

“Get me away from this stinking place!”

  1. A poem with full of sadness, helplessness from an individual who feels trapped! However, just take a step back and read your poem. Your problems seem to be with the co-students and not the school. Break from the past! If I were you, for the moment, I will be happy with the friend I have and give it more time. Sometimes the fault may be at my end too! So, plod on Shilpa!
