Best There Is No I In Team Poems
MY Stolen love
There is someone whom I love dearly
The relationship makes me so deqery
She painted a bad image of me
I have always defended the we
There is no I in team
It all just makes me ween
Your partner is supposed to make you feel like a queen
I feel more like a servant or deen
When did this become so?
I feel so broken and taudry
So tossed aside and daughdry
She stolen my heart my mind my everything my way of life
Now what am I supposed to do now
Continue with my stolen and broken soul
It's so hard when you love someone who dosen't treat you right
Everything is stolen from me
I have nothing
I am shrilved in the corner waiting for hope
Or someone to tell me it's not my fault
That she will find someone who will treat her like she has treated me
Teachers and Faculty care less and less about students every year
If u aren't the favorite don't expect caring
Ur parents have to bring cookies to the bake sale
Teachers have our children's life in their hands
Take some responsibility
One on one communication goes a long way
Drop knowledge whenever u can
Whether it be elementary, Watson
Or High School High and u don't Lovitz
As Teachers pass kids in hallways and treat them like people u pass on the sidewalk
Unless they r causing trouble
Then they get attention
Positive reinforcement, don't u know!?
Pay them no mind if they r quiet and have a 2.8 GPA or higher
The only time the schools contact parents is if something is wrong
Or if the child met their criteria for acknoledgement
Teaching children used to be a calling
Now it is just a job
Just a young persons misguided career path
Being forced to say what they want to be when they grow up
Our youth has potential if we pay attention
Dropout rates and political red tape
Underpaid teacher and staff
State Lottery does not do what our government said it would do
Lower case because it is not important
State Lottery is supposedly there to help our schools and fix our roads
Yet to see that actually help either situation in Michigan
Other states may be different
In some states a school is a business, Owned by a corporation
Turning a profit
Is being a Teacher actually a Customer Service job?
Small Towns get overlooked as our Youth passes through the interent router
Spoken word is too much effort
A teacher's eyes glued to a screen
Right along with the child they r supposed to be teaching
Children cannot speak for themselves
Parents have the responsibility to be their voice
The voice of the voiceless
Politicians and public relations speak of "we"
There is no "I" in "Team"
Teaching our youth to not be selfish and to share
But if they r only thinking of others who is left to think about them
The coach's team has a winning season
2 kids sit on the bench the whole season
No hopes of actually playing
The "team" wins the Championship
Wearing the same shirt doesn't make u a "team"
When asked why the kids didn't play all season
School said the coach's job was based on wins
If the kids wanted to have more game time, they should be better at the game
Actual Events leading to this piece of literature
Save our Youth
all the work i do
all the sweat and tears i've shed
only to get to this moment of disappointment
not in how i do my work,
but the people who surround me
looking down on me as if i'm worthless
I am saddened by the disapproval of my peers
this is why i'm going to leave
start over in my life
branch out and explore my
career options
so when i'm gone
remember all the times
you counted on me to come through-
and i did
now who are you going to count on?
is it the people who are all about themselves?
their incentive and numbers?
are they the ones who are
going to go that extra mile
to make up for those who slack
hide in the isles and talk
is it the ones who take longer
breaks, because they don't
want to be there in the first place, but they want that paycheck or
is it the ones who are showed favoritism?
can say anything to their peers and
get away with everything, because they can do as they please
this was never my dream job to begin with
it bought my house, paid my bills,
but lacks so much more then what i want in life
i want to be respected, rely on on people
who i can trust
not those who sneer behind my back
is this a nightmare?
for now i'm going to sleep
when i wake will it be my reality?
is this how life is suppose to be?
so remember me when i'm gone
as a team player, because there is no I in TEAM
and this time around
I'll take one for the TEAM!
