The Counselor lied.

The Counselor lied.

A Poem by Beth Wilcox

"We will do everything we can to make you feel safe back at school, Beth" you said.

Look at the f*****g words I just read.

 

You lied to me.

You said you'd help me and see who you can do

but you just stand in the doorway and tie your shoe.

 

I sit here in the office crying, wondering what it's like to be dying.

 

You blame me for the way I feel

and you say you cannot wait until.

 

Until I graduate and leave this hell,

then I hear the class bell.

 

You tell me that you could make it worse,

all I wanna do now is f*****g curse.

 

What a counselor you are,

your heart is so far.

 

I hope you can find it, but is it too long gone?

Drown in your tears and your mother f*****g fears.

Wow, a lot of anger and frustration but I really liked the way you formed your thoughts and timing and the language is strong but poetry is meant for the person writing to convey their feelings and what they feel. continue to put yourself out there and share the true emotion in your words. good job.

The language , though a bit raw , serves well to express the emotions .... Nice write once again , specially as there is a certain kind of rhyme in it .

Wow this coubselor's a jerk. I hope it's not actually a person you know in real life. If it is, well I'd have a fewthings to say to them, that's for sure. I also like the last libe, and the overall feeling of frustration and anger you get from this poem. It's really good.

Counselors are supposed to help people...they aren't supposed to be jerks like that...if they are then they aren't worth being a school counselor or any counselor at that...they have to treat people with respect. Nice write though. The last line was awesome. And I love the anger within the piece. Thanks for sharing. :)
