Best Poems Written by Corynn Olderman

School

School 
What’s the point
Five times a week for seven hours 
We sit at a desk 
And watch the teacher talk

Sleep is grabbing at my eyes 
While my teacher is teaching 
Getting yelled at for not paying attention 
And now l’m sitting in the hall 

Each year gets harder and harder
Classes attack me with harder questions 
Always asking questions 
Kids looking at you because you got it wrong 

Always feeling like a new student
Chomping through the halls
Hiding my face in my jacket 
Waiting for the day to end

You get through grade school
Then go to middle school
Up to junior high 
Then finally high school 
Whats the point
