In school
The most dreaded command:
"In your own words"

A damning direction
So filled
With prepubescent
Insecurity

They could mark you
Wrong
For your own
Words

They could make you
Feel
That you were altogether
Wrong

They pretended
That they wanted you
To express yourself
In your own words

But they
Only wanted
To mark
You wrong
