Academical poems on Hello Poetry

x Mar 2018

i learned how to read,
at the age of three.
learned how to make friends,
at the age of five.
started to top my classes,
at the age of seven.

but when i turned nine,
my parents started to crave for
my academical success
more than their own child.

when i turned eleven,
i started to feel like i was drowning
in an endless sea of
self-doubt and self-hatred.

so at the age of thirteen,
unfortunately,
i realized that the blade
from a pencil sharpener
can be used
for something else.

The College of Holism

As the mist lifted from,
Spring Dew Meadow,
across the field,
a dropped head,
pasture bed
Relaxing horse,
No racecourse
Treading among the wildflowers,
if you want barefoot,
even in rain showers
Today lambent Sun
graces the meadow
Nature fellow,
foundation of the nature college,
election not needed for the knowledge
A Senior member of your life
Nature's academical duties,
simply mean,
you recognise your connection,
and embrace without final rejection
