Give Me A Chance (Poem)
Sorry if there are any typos and/or forced rhymes. :(
__________________________________________________ __________ Give me a chance To prove what I can do. Give me a chance Even though I'm new. Give me a chance To speak my mind Give me a chance. Don't leave me behind. Give me a chance To make a change. Give me a chance, Don't call me deranged. Give me a change. I really need one. Give me a chance To show you I'm fun. Give me a chance Before you refuse. Give me a chance Before you assume. Give me a change Mr. so and so. I know I am young But I have room to grow. You just don't give me a chance You push me away And let all your favorites End up seizing the day. But if you let me show you How good I can be You'll be surprised Really, trust me. You have to realize There are more then just them. So give others a chance, Please, let them win. I'm tired of being ignored Left out, beaten. It's a dog eat dog world And I guess I'll be eaten. But this is my life right now, So here's to 2 and half more years Of being given boos and crap roles While they get the leads and cheers. I thought it'd be fun But boy was I wrong Two more years of this And then I'll be done. I'll prove you wrong And I'll make it, I swear. And you'll wish that you gave me a chance While I was there. __________________________________________________ __________ This poem is about a teacher of mine. He plays favorites. He is biased towards seniors. He favors about four juniors and one sophomore too. I am not the one sophomore he favors. Because he plays favorites he gives them all the lead roles, makes them win every competition, etc. I get pushed away and left in the dust. I can act. I know I can. But he won't give me a change to show him I can. I think he doesn't like me. I don't see why he doesn't. I never did anything to him. :( I thought joining this class would be fun, but it's not. I love love love acting though, so I'm staying. I'm not quitting something I love because of a crap teacher. I just have to deal with him for about 2 and a half more years. I just wish he would give me a change to show what I have. He probably isn't even going to cast me in the next show. I can see it coming. Maybe he just doesn't like sophomores. But when your casting a show or judging a contest, I say talent before seniority. |

I really like the poem and how you used repetition in it! Great job! I'm sorry to hear about the teacher though. Don't let him get in the way of what you love. :)

Re: Give Me A Chance (Poem)
I enjoyed this poem. I've run into a few teachers that have played favorites and it can be really annoying but the best thing to do is continue doing your best and ignore it. If you let it bother you too much it can get in the way of your schooling and it really isn't worth it; that teacher isn't worth it. And, if you think about it the teacher is not doing any of the students any good by playing favorites.
Thank you for posting this and sorry for the ramble! :bleh: |
