A Poem by phlogiston
"

everyone, everywhere.

"

Anxious anxious little girl,
waiting waiting by the door.
Heart is pumping, feeling screaming.
Blade is slicing, skin is pealing.

 

Pretty pretty teenage dropout,
pacing pacing near the car.
Body's aching, obsession urging.
Needles injected, life is for splurging.

 

Distant distant sullen kid,
planning planning for the fall.
Got the date, got the place.
Tumbling down, splattered face.

 

Angry angry misunderstood child,
hating hating the perpetrators wile.
Materials horded, excitement barely hidden.
Blow out their brains, and good riddance.

 

Perfect perfect A+ student,
obsessing obsessing over her life.
Pressures too much, she's going to crack.
Her mind is broken, there's no going back.

 

People people everywhere,
chaos chaos in the air.
Too much is wrong, too hard to change.
Those people aren't worth it anyway.

exelent job. I loved the repetition, it gives more meaning to the phrases. "Those people aren't worth it anyway" that's a phrase I use a lot, I love it. How you changed the scenario from one trubled child to another, (or that's the feeling I got, if I am wrong please let me know) and the resolution. I can't wait to read your next work.
