I wish school wasn’t a chore

I wish we wouldn’t call everyone a wh**e

I wish grades wouldn’t define our futures

I wish our flaws weren't all the we featured

I wish we wouldn’t have to feel unsafe in our schools

I wish everyone would stop acting like fools

I wish stereotypes didn’t define who we were

I wish we didn’t have to live in a blur

I wish we could learn to love and to live,

and find a better way to forgive.

This piece means a lot to me because it is something I have seen myself. Being a highschool student is hard and can negatively effect many students. I have hope that we can learn to love and support each other instead of finding ways to bring each other down.
