Graded
October 10, 2012
I got a B+
I got a B+
But no
That didn't please them
They took out the belt
And lashed me hard
The red marks
Stinging greatly
I cried and screamed
For them to stop
And eventually
They did
The next day
I went back to school
Hot in my long sleeves
And begged
My second grade teacher
To let me try again
