Seventh grade poem...

Seventh grade poem...

i would often leave my teachers in a standing ovation
mastering my piece of art
showing of my creation
imprinting each and every single part
never caring that someone always ended up dead
never caring that i left them with tears in there eyes
never knowing they actually listened to what i said
they left me to my own demise
Words... flowed out of me like blood from my wrists
words... was all i had left
grazed knuckles are all i have left from my fists
never believed in fate
dangerous school,dangerous mind
girls in the bathroom being raped
but for them i had no time,i was just trying to find....
peace...but there were to many broken boys in the locker room who liked pink
to many fights,to many scars
to many "bottle after bottle"leaving me hollow...
to many strangers cars
trying to push down my tears,trying to swallow

so now my seventh grade teachers eyes begin to sting
As my sentences,my words,my rhymes, become there reality
"just another misbehaved kid" teachers don't realize a thing
maybe if you all open your eyes and look around you'll see...
Fights...
bottles...
Scars...
Tears...
strangers Cars...
Fears...
Just maybe you'll understand that my rage...
isn't a phase
it's not another teenage stage
just maybe you'll see
there is no hope left...none
not for you or him or her... not for me or anybody
honestly i'm ready to give up...honestly i'm DONE!

But the only way to tell you people this, is through a poem
open your eyes... honestly
I shouldn't have to tell you which one of your students have a broken home
Look on the bathroom stalls... it actually says "someone please help me"

your supposed to be our "role models", our "hero's"
but i guess that's to big of a "supposed to be"

Hi micky. I love the fact you are putting this out there for everyone to see!! Your passion blurts from your words as you cry out in fear, but I hear the disgust beneath the veneer and totally agree that nothing is ever done to break cyclic bonds. I love to that you dare to tell it how it is. To remove the sugar coating and display the reality. You have a strong voice and I so hope you will use your talent to keep on telling the world what is wrong!!! Thank you. I loved the depth of your understanding, I hope you are able to rise above the problems you encounter, alf

Hi micky. You will get to know that I tend to say it as I see it, and this poem holds a potent message. Loved it, alf

wow, I love this one also, great. Intense emotion. School is fucked! And the teachers don't have a clue what is going on. BUT isn't that their job? I pretty much hated school, but not the learning, all the other s**t.

I hated school but i loved education....our teachers of today give me no hope...the system is fucked...
Thank you for the awesome review Marcus

[marcus]

YES! granted I've been out of school for some time now, but I remember in all my years like 2 at most teachers that actually inspired me. The system is fucked!

this reminds me of sylvia plath....so many signals of that help needed, wanted but no one took her seriously enough as she wrote her confessional poems and letters to her mother...all indicating life was more tragic for her than anyone noticed---

and with the way things are today---growing up happens way too fast.

needs some edits, but a really powerful piece, micky.

wow very powerful micky. You are raw , open and so honesty in this write and the message is true. Too many children, teenagers fall between the cracks. 9 Times out of 10 the student that misbehaves or checks out has so much more going on than the teachers realize !
Well said and well written.
