Stereotypical and conceited
So unfair and they don't even see it
Stuck behind a curtain
A world so dull and bleak
Unable to behold the potential
Plainly visible where they don't see.

The author's comments:
I was recently unable to be a part of my school's reading extension class and there is no explaining how much I miss being there with my friends doing what we love, reading. This poem helps explain my frustration, however. Although, most of my friends feel the same way on account of the extension class becoming more "exclusive".
