Middle School: A Poem by Savanna White

Middle School: A Poem by Savanna White

Bad reviews and dread

All those movie stereotypes got in my head

Long nights of tears in bed

Didn’t know I should have been exited 

Instead

I changed myself to fit the trends

Made fun of or felt bad for without my defense

We weren’t ourself or didn’t know who that was

Acted like a teenager just ‘cause

Our age said we needed to be

But honestly

After all the assumptions and stereotypes were gone

We could see

We were wrong

Girls might rumor and boys boys might stink

But you realize there’s more than you think

Be yourself and you’ll find friends

Because theres no reason to pretend 

Popularity is just whose well known

Also don’t think you’ll be on your own 

Everybody’s recipe makes them who they are 

So many similarities can’t be far

Learn from mistakes and make yourself proud

When you find yourself sing it loud

Without this experience 

I wouldn’t of been or found myself since

These people and this school made me who I am

I’m blessed with this group who will rule

Our next year in High School

That wouldn’t of happened in our life

Without this chance to strive

So don’t believe these lies (from people with a bad time)

I can’t wait for what’s next

Thanks for making me my best
