My destination is the x on the treasure map I must rush my feet Or else someone claim it before me I'm lost behind ruthless people They won't let me pass My hands moisten from nervousness But I will not have warm awkwardness My body tightens and my thighs burn Let me through barbarian This will not be the day For today they shall speak of my odyssey Because I finally got first dibs The x becomes my sanctuary More or less a grand throne The stress is released while I reach I am left empty handed Without any TP

Why me?
Laugh until you start to cry. I assure you those tears can do magical things. **** The sorrow finally disappears. Continue to laugh until your stomach aches. Did you know you are burning unwanted calories? Laugh uncontrollably. It is contagious and shows that you care. Never stop laughing. It is a lingo we all know too well. Break the boundaries and laugh with me. It will be a better day.

Laughter is good
Manipulated by a pursasive tongue Ignorance that crowds a clear mind Savagely hoovering on your prey Egotistically having multiple personas Ruthless to an innocent soul You

Misery
Each milestone the teacher makes us write Write about the monsters that makes us quiver Write about how we can redeem courage Think. Think. Pause. What do I write I am only in first grade I fear not the boogie man under my bed but The man you leaves love taps on mommy's face What can I do I was taught that what happens here remains Remains within this household as a secret Help. Help. Hush. What do I write I am in the sixth grade I fear not the spirit in the basement for he is my friend But tremble at the sight of the shadow that preys on me What can I do Mama is beaten with labor by three jobs Two for food and one holding that leather belt Cry. Cry. Hush. What do I write I am finally a senior I fear not of growing up and taking its responsibilities But awaking from the fairytale reality each day shakens me What can I do Swallow another ambien after another Elimate enduring the nightmare furthermore Sleep. Sleep. Hush. Teacher makes us present Humiliating with laughter or Understanding with compassion Write. Write. Erase.
