I Flunked Fool School. <br />Why do people continue <br />To try to push me <br />On to the next level? <br />I've already proved <br />I can't make it. <br />You've done your best <br />To encourage me. <br />Whatever life I have left <br />Just let me sever it <br />I can't even fake it. <br /> <br />Before I won the lottery <br />Not a friend I could find. <br />I would cook great meals <br />No one would come and dine. <br />I wanted someone platonic <br />Just to go shopping with me <br />But no one had the time <br />Then I bought that ticket <br />Now seems like everyone <br />Has up and changed their minds. <br /> <br />I Flunked Fool School. <br />Why do people try pushing me <br />On to the next level? <br />I know I'll never catch on <br />Cause I've been like this <br />Since the day I was born. <br />I sincerely know <br />I won't make it <br />I know my limitations <br />Because my brain can't take it. <br /> <br />Some say I don't have faith <br />Some say I don't believe. <br />But I say what I think <br />Is what is right <br />For I'll not embarrass myself <br />And make my own heart bleed. <br />Because I can't put out <br />What my own senses <br />So distinctivly and so noticably <br />Can not exactly recieve. <br /> <br />When you don't succeed <br />And make good grades in school. <br />They redicule and laugh <br />Expecting you to play along <br />And resort to acting a fool. <br />So I would rather choose <br />To just stay out of the game <br />Than not finish what I started <br />Then people can just be cool <br />And continue to treat me the same. <br /> <br />I Flunked Fool School. <br />I guess I should be ashamed <br />In a way I really am. <br />Some say it will ruin my good name <br />And no one will understand <br />Why I'm being left out in the rain. <br />What really does concern me <br />Is why should I go to the next level? <br />When I can't see <br />What's there to gain.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flunked-fool-school/
