Cory Long Poet Free verse

Curve Ball

The engine blew up in my car.
Leaving me stranded looking at the stars. 
Not quite sure what to do 
I have to go to school. 
School has kicked me hard this time. 
Hopefully I don't fall behind. 
So much homework and no time 
Kids are helping me to lose my mind. 
they will not listen and think they rule the world.
Where the hell did I go wrong. 
Well this is life on my side of town.
Just waiting for my stars to align
As I tackle the world one more time.
