Life As A Principal's Kid
A girl was born
And her parents loved her
Then soon later,over many years,
They had three more kids,
Yet they were boys.
The little girl looked over the boys
Just like any older sibling would.
Now she is starting Preschool.
At first she didn't want to.
Then she did.
But she didn't have many friends.
She played by herself most of the time.
Then she meet a friend, and it was a girl.
These two became friends
And stayed that way until later in life
Now she is in elementary.
At first she was scared for she knew no one,
Then she meet another friend, also a girl.
They stayed friends until about 4th grade
Then she left and went to another elementary school
Leaving her friend to a new school
Where many knew her
Up to this point,
The girl loved being the one knew
But then when others started to know her
She didn't know what to do.
Soon people didn't even know her name
To them she was known as so-and-so's kid
Then she thought of her mom
The mom was going to become a principal
So then everywhere she went,
People would know who she was.
The girl was ok with it
Until people started comparing her,
Not getting to know her,
Just knowing who she was related to,
And using her.
This made the girl very confused,
Unloved, unwanted,
Unknown...
Now she is in middle school,
And her mom is the principal.
All the teachers started treating her different,
Never like the rest of the kids.
The teachers expected more out of her.
Not wanting to care for her.
She made friends,
But none actually treated her as one.
Soon the girl just shut down.
She stopped talking to people,
Stopped trying to get people to notice her for her,
And not her mother.
She stopped being her.
After three years of this,
This girl moves on into high school.
Many kids knew her for they went to the same middle school.
Even some teachers and administrators knew her.
The girl didn't know what to do
She was tired of how people treated her differently,
Tired of being known as the principal's daughter.
All she wanted was real friends,
Real relationships with her teachers,
But she tried and failed for a while.
then she made friends
Who wanted to know her,
And liked her for her.
They didn't care that she was principal's kid.
However, teachers where different.
They still treated her differently.
So the girl treated them like she did in middle school.
The mom got at her for this,
But she never understood why.
the girl would try to tell her mom,
Yet the mom wouldn't hear her out.
So the girl gave up,
Never able to talk to adults.
Now she is a ju nior in school,
And the same thing is still going on.
Just now, she has a boyfriend
Yet she admitts to doing some wrong things,
But no adult will hear her out.
What can she do?
Nothing...
This poem was about my life,
To show that I am not my mother.
I am me!
But no one wil hear me out.
Hopefully though,
They will read this and understand,
How hard it is to be...
