So Winter Break I was fine,
Smiling, smiling- all the time.
Even some repeated laughter!
I was happy- ever after!

But then! BAM! School Started,
I was sad and broken hearted.
I frowned and then, whoa!
More rumors so....

Walking through the hall some more
At least now I’m a senior
But all I ever do is be afraid
Of what strangers have to say

About me. Why do I care?
I don’t know? I just feel it isn’t fair
To make us go day to day
Worried of what rumors say.

Who cares who broke their relationship?
It wasn’t right! Just a trip
To try to make their friendship right.
Who cares who’s cheating day and night?

Or saying who’s parents got divorced
Or even about a deep remorse
But who cares about a lie that’s spread
Around the school that someone said?

Who cares? Who cares?
Just because it isn’t fair.
It isn’t cool, it isn’t cool.
Rumors... Rumors... Oh so cruel.

I love the idea behind this poem. However the ryming took away from the poem, because sometimes the ryemes seemed natural like something you would say, and sometimes they were forced. Other than that, great job!
