Respect You Don't Deserve

Why do you
Treat me like
I'm a stupid kid,
Just because I don't
Give you all the
Resepect
You think you deserve.

But no matter what,
The war keeps raging.

I'm tired and want to sleep,

The war keeps
Me awake.

I don't want to sleep,
I NEED to sleep.

You doodle on a page,
Or stare at the walls,
Or read under your desk,
Or stare at the teacher
And wonder how she managed to qualify
To be a teacher when she doesn't even use
Grammar.
