Never Have I Ever

[poppoetry]

this poem forces the reader to read it a few times to get what's going on which is a great start to any poem, I am a little confused about stanza 3 and think this could be left out, at stanza 4 they're smoking behind the school yet at stanza 3 the writer is catching up on work????, the poem reads like the subject is female and is being led astray by a male colleague/student, the structure is clever and interesting and a little more work on a rhyming scheme would really help this poem.

                I didn't get offered
                smokes. I guess people assumed
                that I would                          
                                                  

   never                                                                                             

                 hurt my body in that way.
                 We got drunk and almost
                 fell off the bed.
                 We did other stuff too,
                 things I liked because I didn't    
                                                    

  have                                                                                                  

                to think. A month later,
                I was still making up work
                from that week I missed. I
                "had the flu". I was "fine"              
                                                 

     I...                                                                                         

                               

                lied. We smoked during
                fourth hour, in that alley
                behind school. I never thought
                I would want to remember...
