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.

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.

Jordy, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
