Great Poem by Gary McPhail

I have been to school today,
I'm not lying,
why do you continue to question me,
I’m getting sick and tired.

I've already said
that I’m not hungry
stop feeding me food
because I don’t want it
I don’t care if its my favourite meal
I’ll eat it later
I’m not being rude

I want to stay in my room,
leave me alone,
privacy is a privilege,
let me have what I’m owed.

you don't listen to me,
I wish you would,
my words are just the same as yours,
just a different tone that’s all.

great now I'm grounded for having my opinions
do I care, NO
I can handle being lonely
take away my TV
and my belongings
at least I have my imagination
to keep me company!
