sixth grade

by Angela Hanska

“you can do better”
they have told me
“you have so much more potential”
they said

for it is easier said than done
and for a single incident that
could cause so much pain
and worse, because it was
inflicted from other children

that this incident could change
one child’s life forever
and the child would never
be the same ever again

for it caused me to fear
and give me a blockade
for my excellence that
I could not get past

And to this day I fear
To excel and draw attention
For what may happen next
Would be a repeat of that
Long ago day

When my life was forever
Changed in sixth grade
