I am called a teacher's pet,
labeled.
A goody-two-shoes,
judged.
A snitch,
bullied.
A girl,
hung.
-
You tell me I'm a jerk
for being kind
simply because
you don't have a heart like mine.
-
I don't snitch on you
because you should get in trouble.
I snitch on you because
your life will reduce you to rubble.
-
Worry fills me with care,
and that care turns into love
to ensure that you will still be here
when the morning comes.
-
I care,
I really, truly do,
so don't try and tell me,
that I wouldn't care about you.
-
Because I care about the teachers,
my friends, and their lives.
And its not for my benefit
that I try to make them smile.
-
Teachers have got it hard,
they work harder than the rest,
to ensure that we always,
always try our best.
-
Yet people are cruel,
they tear each other down
to build themselves up,
with walls crumbling to the ground.
-
Don't tell me right from wrong
by ripping my heart to shreds.
Is it wrong to be nice?
Thinking without my head?
-
Because my thoughts come through my heart,
only by God's will do I live.
He loved me enough to save me,
so I have overflowing love to give.
-
Watch the words that come out of your mouth,
because they are often untrue,
the ones who are the jerks around here,
are most certainly you.
-
So next time you call me a teacher's pet,
go ahead and judge,
I'll be there for you too,
I might even give you a hug.
-
Because you don't know what you're doing.
You don't know how it feels to be hung.
Your words mean all and nothing,
but I will always give away my love.

This poem really spoke to my heart, and I could really relate to it because I was always the quiet, jerky teacher's pet. It's such a sweet poem that encourage me.Thanks for writing this and keep on writing.
Thanks! I'm glad I could reach someone
Hello. I really liked this poem. It really speaks to me and the emotions are very well portrayed. It came off as a very sweet poem coming straight from a goody-two-shoes perspective.
What I found a little wrong was the rhyming scheme but it is nothing to worry about if it is just your style of writing.
Anyway, my favourite lines were:
"Don't tell me right from wrong
by ripping my heart to shreds.
Is it wrong to be nice?
Thinking without my head?"
I really liked this poem and I hope to read lots more from you soon.

Thanks for the review! I'm glad I could portray reality even in small lines
But, where is my rhyme scheme off? I was writing this in the middle of spanish class XD but someone else said the same thing.
You are welcome. You had rhyming in some places such as trouble- rubble, live give but at other places it did not rhyme. I don't know maybe you wanted it to be that way. Anyway the poem was great.
Heyheyhey, it's me, a person!
I love this poem, as it speaks to me. I am labeled as a 'goody two shoes' while the other kids are all 'rebels.' But they don't understand what's going through this 'goody two shoe's' mind. Some of them tell on others for just purely the purpose revenge or such but others just tell on you because they care.
It's like from a 'goody two shoe's' perspective of things and that's what makes it so unique. Really nobody ever cared to learn the reason and I think it was proven perfectly in this poem.
I think you already see what you need to improve in as the other reviewers have said but over all I think this was a beautiful little poem you made!
Keep writing
Thank you very much
Glad I could reach some peeps
Happy Writing!
You're welcome ^___^
This is an adorable poem. I like your theme, about people not understanding that you're caring and trying to help when you tell on them.
I have a little brother who I tell on whenever he does something awful. It's not because I want to humiliate or embarrass him, I just want my parents to set him straight. Same with my cousins.
This poem was very pretty. The only thing that tripped me up was how the rhyming is inconsistent- for example, trouble and rubble is a great rhyme, but there aren't any rhymes in some of the other stanzas. But that's not a huge deal
Thank you! Which stanzas don't have rhymes because I will chagne that immediately....
That was such a sweet and lovely poem. What stuck out to me the most was how you placed all the words in the poem to make it clear, flowiing, and produce a nice rytham.
In the first stanza I liked the structure of the first line being longer and then the second line very short and then the third line slightly shorter than the first line. I thought you were going to go through with this structure throught the whole piece but I was wrong. The first stanza was a good opening, though.
I enjoyed the poem.
