What They Don't Tell You About School
They don’t tell you
That you will think you’re
Brave enough
To conquer your
First day
Of school without
Your mother.
That is, until
Your sitting alone
With no friends.
You will most
Definitely get hurt
On the playground
At least
Once,
But thats when
You push through
And show you are
Tough.
What they don't
Tell you
Is that you
Won't get it
On the first try.
But then you
Keep trying
Anyways.
They don't tell you
That you'll form
What you think
Will be a
Friendship
For life.
Only to watch
It become
Dust
When you get
To highschool.
You’ll see
Cute guys that
You will
Fall for.
Just to be
Hurt in
The end.
What they
Don’t tell you
Is that boys
Can be very
Persuasive,
Bring you out
Of your
Shell,
And ruin your
Reputation
At school
Just because
They made
You feel
“Loved.”
They don't
Tell you
That people
Won't always agree
With how you
Choose to be
YOU.
But they also
Don't tell you
That in the end,
What people
Said or
Thought
Doesn’t matter.
What they don't
Tell you is
That all those
Times spent
In the bathrooms
Crying over
Friend, boys,
Grades, or
Anything is
Okay.
It'll all be
Okay.
They don't
Tell you
That no matter
How bad your
Grades get,
There is still
Hope.
There is
One thing
That they did
Tell you:
School is just
For education.
But what they
Didn't tell you
Was that they
Lied.
School is so
Much more.
Your biggest
Weaknesses
Are discovered.
As well as your
Strong points.
You learn the
Difference
Between real
And fake.
You learn
A lot.
Oh, the things
They don’t
Tell you about
School.
