School days

I'm trying to expand the perspective of my poems. This one is a personal poem to my 6th grade year. I had just moved to a new town, and was unsure how to make new friends, the friends I thought I had found decided they didn't want to be friends with me anymore. This left me quite confused and unsure of what to do at school.

This is my poem to that little girl who is left to defend herself from the world, and how with a challenge your world can change in amazing ways.

Starting her day in an upbeat way

Sarah took her nose to the floor

I will never be right, but that's alright

I will learn to do more. 

Sarah went to school where kids were cruel

They mocked her hair and dress

That's alright I’ll be bright

And find those I can bless. 

In her class Todd gave her some sass

And wondered how she could get along

She was contrite and will be alright

And sang a joyful song.

Out by her own at recess she roams

To find a friendly hand

It was not right alone she would fight

The evil horned band. 

Come what may, and I will say

Hello to this discouraging horde. 

Would it be right to extend a slight

Gift of kindness towards?

Stopped in their tracks they taken aback

What could this offer mean

Could they just might be kind to her plight

 And abort their planned scene?

Seeing their pause there she was

Surrounded by dozens more now

They looked to their left quite bereft

And she said this I will allow

I want you to be my friend where we can mend

Like threads joined together

Let my bite become your light

As we join as birds of a feather. 

All who saw were now in awe

At her boldness to this crowd

The leader stood slight not just sure quite

How to answer this out loud. 

Sucking some air he did fare

To answer her sentence to them

“You are despite our tries to  blight

The brightest and rarest gem.
