Dismissed.

by Adna   Oct 3, 2013


Close your eyes and dream
To times of innocence and laughter
Back long ago
Before they broke you
With hateful words
And racists slurs

Now you look down in shame
Quickly whisper "I'm sorry"
And no one hears, cause no one cares
Who told you being different was allowed

Back bent and stooped with hatred
Found a new way to walk through the world

Bitter smile, judging eyes
You'd rather break first than take a chance
Learned your lesson
Class dismissed

    As you have no full stops/periods I would drop the capital letters apart from the first line on each new stanza.

    Im should read I'm in stanza 2.

    The narration is good in this with nice flow apart from line 3 in stanza 2. I would add a comma after 'hears' Because I feel the line reads stronger emotionally with a pause just before 'cause no one cares'

    These are just my thoughts,

    Stanza three is very clever and I like the abruptness in four.

    nice write.
