Sometimes she writes poems that are so simple (no where near profound)
Never writing something worth the effort that could make her feel proud
Sing-songy lines scribbled down that easily make sense
Keeps writing meaningless drafts until her collection is immense
Sometimes she writes a poem and then posts it on the Net
For a bunch of fifth-graders to read (see how many replies she gets)
She can't do this anymore
She can't suject her work to the scrutiny of pre-teens
Always being polite, never saying anything mean
She can't write in an environment where she cannot grow
But right now, it's where she'll stay
She has no where else to go

I don't have an attitude problem You have a perception problem.

Now you got me thinking...hehe.
Anyways...
It's true. If you're not happy here (GO FIFTH GRADERS! ok...no.) do whatever you can to make yourself happy.

hey, this is good because it's different!  you've done a great job with the alliteration and theme, but if you were really going for rhyme, you might need a class from Allan...he knows what he's doing   great poem though!

I enjoyed this one. Very nicely said here.

I was gonna say something that I'm afraid might sound mean, but I'm glad I saw your reply back.  If she cannot grow in a certain enviroment, she should go try other places.  It doesn't make any sense to stay.  

Thanks for sharing

If you really want I can be nasty but this place spares the feelings of others. Your work is very good and I see no need for pulling it apart.

Your piece spoke of things that many people I'm sure feel in here. Good luck with your future writing.

Just because I hear voices doesn't mean I'm crazy...SHUT UP IN THERE!!!

I feel old if everyone's a fifth grader.  1/3 of a year left of my teenage.

This was an excellent post you expressed your feelings well and it made up a strong piece.  You did very well to place it in the format of a poem.  By the way, I am from England and at what age if fifth grade?!  I am 16 what grade would I be in?!  Keep writing!!

Oh my gosh, this is the lamest poem I have ever written and it is getting the most replies ever! How lame is that! LoL. ANyways Kim, fifth grade is about 11 years old and you, being 16, would most likely be a sophomore in high school. Thanks everyone for reading. You all are great!

Kim, a sophmore in high school is a 10th grader.  You would either be in 10th grade or 11th grade.
