The day I lost my identity
I have not lost it ; I was running late and couldn ’ t find it
But I decided that my education is more important than a piece of plastic
It is unfair to be harassed everyday by authority figures simply because it is not worn
Before you ask I do not have an attitude problem , I rarely speak out
I have an open mind but an unspoken mouth
So I will not conform today and listen to your words when I do not deserve this
There are bigger problems in this school that you don ’ t notice
Why ? Because you are here concerned about my I . D . ( 8 )
