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)
