Creative Poem (school days)

School began as usual at 7.30.
I'm half asleep, my homework half-done.
My shower's cold; my oatmeal's dry.
I'm cursing as usual.

I'm walking to school; it's pouring.
My zipper's stuck; my left sneaker squeaks.
My water bottle drops; it leaks
I slip on the school steps; I trip in the hall

I'm cursing as usual.
I'm cursing in English and Chinese
I know I'm bilingual
I know I'm an intellectual

The classroom's hot
The teacher's a grouch
The students are snobs
and I'm a zealot

I will persevere
I will hold on
I will survive this hell hole
I will, I will, I will!
