THINGS I HATE

I hate algebra homework

And the sound of stuttering readers

I hate the way people slow down in the hallways

And I hate big tall lockers

I hate critical reading teachers

And presentations on 500 page books

I hate having to sit in classes that do not matter to me

And having to pass them just to graduate

I hate my half a** friends

And I hate the fake loves I have had

But what most people

Do not notice

Is that the thing that I hate the most

Is me
