A Teenagers Thoughts

I go to school, but not everyday.
My parents said i should, if i wish to get a nice pay.
But i get so distracted, from the thought of school
We've been told from a young age, to enjoy school is deemed uncool.
But schools a short, important step in life.
Like finding a stable job and a supporting wife.
I do hope my attitude towards school does change, for my attendance and attitude i only have myself to blame.
Maybe it's the bad groups i hang around with, thinking slinging drugs and flashing knives are slick.
The thoughts these people have are far beyond sick.
when i get the motivation to go to school, they'll surely say "don't go to school, hang with us, don't be gay"
Being called gay, is a small price to pay. knowing i'll have a bright future, i think my thoughts on school shall stay.
I think that's what i'll do, i'll avoid them and attend school
Getting called gay by a person who considers himself a mate,
all because i wish to enter a gate and stay for the day?
Well, who needs friends like that anyway. When i have school, a future, motorbikes, and an xbox to play.

I've really been enjoying your story your characters and storytelling are fantastic. Honestly, I think it would work incredibly well as a manga or webtoon and could help you reach an even bigger audience. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il: [email protected] inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
