I Won'T Give Up
I can’t get up,
My ankle hurts
Why now? Why today?
A sharp excruciating pain in my ankle
I looked around
I watched a hundred kids go by me
Why won’t you help me?
I thought that’s what this school was about.
I guess I was wrong
I’m finally up and I’m limping
Its okay not in pain just can’t walk on it
A few hours later
I followed my teacher
When all of a sudden, my leg got weak
The pain,
The pain came back
Still no one to help
I can’t get up
It really hurts now
I’m crying all alone in pain
I try to get up and I fall hurting it once more
I can’t believe this is happening
When I got up one more time
I wobble towards me friends
Tears streaming from my eyes
I hide my face crying as my friends kept talking with one another
I crying and crying more to find out later
I have to go home, it’s broken
I missed the most important day
