An Average Day in 6th Grade
(c) 2004 Aire Celeste Norell I sit at my desk
Tense and angry.
Trying to ignore
The taunting calls
Of my classmates
As they pelt me
With insults.

The tears come
In a wave of
Stinging droplets.
I shuffle through my desk,
Pretend I'm searching
For today's homework.

I cry into my pillow
Thinking, I hate them!
Soon choking sobs
Turn to gentle breathing.
My mind is at peace.
