The Year 7 Obstacles
Here I lay, staring at the endless sky
A voice is calling to me but I don’t know why
My head is buzzing with questions and lies
A person in my head screams and cries
So many homework has flooded my brain
Of dirty, mucky water and strong acid rain
A crowd of people pushing makes my head fuzzy
The noise they make and the road makes the world buzzy
The cold winter night freezes me from top to toe
Stormy nights strike and make me want to go
The heat makes me thirst, parched, sticky and dozy
It’s hard to bear ice-cold nights without anything cosy
The chores have sent tornadoes in my head
Cuts and bruises are always burning red
Mud and dirt has polluted and stuck
Running up stairs has made me melt into muck
Falling, tripping, slipping off banana peels
The people that bully, tease, lie and steal
Stalkers and shadows that follow you as they might
When you turn around, they are out of sight
The overdue library book your lost homework
The project and evil test monster that may lurk
The horrid speech, the boring lesson
Wouldn’t the school hours lessen?
Finding clean space, finding clean air
With obstacles like this, it must be rare
For an unfortunate year seven
Past years were bittersweet and holidays are like heaven
