Mariam

Mariam pulls my hair
Makes me cry at lunch
Mom says she wants to be my friend but I think she hates my guts

Mariam chases me
Kicks me in the teeth
What did I ever do to her and how did she get so mean?

Mariam ditches school
That's the third all week
Maybe shes tired of pulling my hair and kicking me in the teeth

Mariam comes to class with a big fat bruise
Kids say she got in another fight but mariam never loses
Maybe she's not so mean
Maybe she's not so mean
(maybe)

Mariam rides the bus
That's the first all week
All of the seats are taken so I let her sit by me
