My Chalk and Slate
#WritcoPoemPrompt49 @AtulPurohit
The days of slate and chalk,
Are not easy to erase,
They hold memories,
Of my childhood,
Those memories that will last,
some good and some bad,
I remember tucking my slate
under my arm at the school's gate
hoping not to get home late
but also escaping my bullies' hate
they never knew success was my fate
but now they know in this present date
that my chalk and slate
plus my gross GPA rate
is the different between me and my mates
I am now within happiness' gates
