Poem of the Day
WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?
What’s wrong with you?
Do you have a screw lose?
Why let other’s choose your path
then sit around so full of wrath?
All your life, it’s what you’ve done
You know it’s true, others chose your fun.
So… What’s wrong with you
the question’s still valid
all these years later, it’s the same old ballad
doing the bidding of someone else
always afraid to trust yourself.
You’re scared, oh how sad
still afraid, someone else will get mad?
So what if they do, it’s not a big deal
I think they should consider, just how you feel.
Until you’re ready to trust who you are
The other guy, will be driving your car.
That’s a depressing thought, for a woman your age
perhaps it’s time, you began the next stage
striving to live, just a little bit more
to your own liking, while shutting their door.
What Will Son Do Next?
A little school background on Son. Son had enough credits to graduate in March. All he had to do was take the ISTEP test and he wouldn't because he, "wanted to visit his friends." We've had trouble with him all year for skipping certain classes or leaving school. He has taken all classes needed so he enrolled in the ICE class where you get a job and go directly from school to work this trimester. Well, he had a job offer but he would have had to cut his hair which is past his shoulders. He refused to do this so he was put into 4 hours of study hall. He's done numerous 2 hour after-school detentions for skipping classes, but today the school called and said he was seen leaving school without permission and would be suspended Monday because all his after-school detentions had been used up which brings me to the next point. His dad took his keys except for driving to school this week because he had been leaving late at night and not coming in until early in the morning. So Son calls me around 3pm saying he has run out of gas. The school called around 1pm so I know he's been running around that long. I just filled up his tank Sunday and he's already used a tank of gas even with his keys taken so I ask him why he's out of gas. He says he doesn't know. I say maybe because he's been leaving school and driving around and ask how many times he's left this week and he says 3 times. He says he can't stand staying in that class for so long, so he leaves. The school is ready to turn him in for truancy. He only has 2 more days he can miss before they will file on him. I take the lawnmower gas which I've already done a thousand times to him so he can get home. He's left his emergency light on so of course, his battery is dead. I have him flag down a policeman and he gives Son a jump. I told him when he turns 18 in August, if he is still acting the way he is, I'm kicking him out to get a taste of life on his own terms and we're not going to help. I've truly had enough!
