Prisoner
When you are in seventh grade,
You can’t talk to dolls.
Because people will laugh.
When you are in seventh grade,
You can’t wear your hair crazy like a Who from Whoville.
Because people will smirk.
When you are in seventh grade,
You can’t be friends with that one boy.
Because people will talk.
When you are in seventh grade,
You are a prisoner,
A prisoner, of yourself.
Only in time,
Can you, set yourself free.
