![]() Lunch Box WarriorA Poem by Kevin Joyce![]() A troubled teen suffering through bullying takes a final stand with what lies in his lunch box![]() Going to school today not even making a sound. The adrenaline rush makes my heart pound. Just me and my lunch box today thats all I need. I got so much food in here the whole lunchroom I could feed. No ones going to have to steal my lunch today. I will practically be giving it away. The bell rings it’s time to begin with first hour. I sit front row with my lunch box and don’t even cower. They laugh at me saying “Oh did mommy make your lunch?” After first hour I am in the halls, they taunt and punch. I stagger to second hour still holding my lunch box. These sticks and stones fell like logs and rocks. It’s ok though. Only two more hours to go. By third class Iv’e been quite abused. Teachers laughing so f*****g amused. the bell rings its finally time to go and eat. Once again in the lunchroom I have no seat. I raise my lunch box standing proud and high. I yell as loud as I can “who’s ready to die?” They all laugh like I am some f*****g joke. This lunch box is about to open and smoke. I reach inside and flailed my armed hand. Firing off rounds of hate, I am making a stand. I don’t know how many I shot and killed that day. But this lunch box warrior got his way © 2014 Kevin Joyce |
