Pay Attention

Pay Attention! 
You have to learn this fact

Pay Attention! 
You need to watch how you act

Pay Attention! 
You have to wait before you can travel abroad

Pay Attention! 
It doesn't matter that your happiness is a facade

Pay Attention! I have to fill your brain with all this information

The difficulties of growing up with ADD(attention deficit disorder) is something many children can relate to. Most education in the U.S. doesn't cater to children who have a much harder time sitting still and focusing than other children. Children already don't have a very large attention span. People weren't made to be happy in an environment where they can't express themselves. This poem was meant to express my personal feelings about the education system in relation to my inability to focus for long periods of time.
