The Building of My
December 6, 2022
It’s what my parents have pushed me for since I was 10
It’s what my tutors have trained me for since I was 12
It’s what my friends have talked about since I was 14
It’s what my brother entered since I was 16
It’s what I’ll enter when I am 18
But it’s just a building with fancy books,
Fancy teachers
Fancy rooms
Fancy desks
And fancy students
Students like me with parents, tutors, friends, and brothers
Students like me who’ve seen nothing but the building for 18 years.
