First grade

First grade was never Right for someone who Had an older mind An adult in a child's Body is not an euphemism But a story. A story about a mind SO old it could understand The teacher but not the ways and chatter of each child like creature I didn't want this Nor is there anyone To blame why was it so Hard for me to just play To just play To not care about Why she was mad and How that's not fair About what she had said And what I felt why couldn't I be like everyone else But they were kids and I was an adult I couldn't Fault them for something they Were not.
