Can't
I
miss one day of school
I'll never
make it into honors classes.
I can't wait to
run away from here.
I could never
make my parents proud.
I really want to
get suspended.
I don't understand how my friends
maintain good grades.
I never go a day without trying to
fail on an assignment.
How could I ever
Get into a good college
They say...

This is incredibly clever! I would never have the patience to write a palindrome, so I applaud you for doing so. I love the contrast between the two ways that this can be read. Great work!
