3 Years in 5th Grade

I've been stuck in 5th grade for 3 years
and it's all his fault.
He sucked me in until i just couldn't take it
and i had to let him go.
He didn't hold me back, actually,
he pulled me up.
I made it to where i needed to be
because of him.
But he didn't let me breathe
just choke back tears.
Like i was stuck in some dream
where i never got older.
I can't move forward,
i can't get past him.
But then i somehow,
push him away.
And i wake up, out of the dream
and I'm different.
I'm no longer a stupid 11 year 5th grader
I'm 14. I'm in 8th grade.
And i see him. He stares at me with pure evil.
I stopped letting him hold me down.
No matter what he taught me.
I woke up to a full life.
I still miss him, he taught me a lot.
But I'm no longer stuck in 5th grade.
