The teacher tells the class to write a poem
Jokes on her, the kid in the back has already written over two thousand.
Self-parody poem. Can't  sleep.
Through her eyes,
You see brightness.
But through the screen,
You see darkness.
From fables to fairy tales,
To folk tales,
To my heart,
I thought wishes come true.

But when I think of you,
My wishes become a curse.

i walked in
to find you
with a cup
of alcohol

and a girl
talking to
you.

i step back
into the
shadows,

watching
you in the
distance.

you guys
look happy.

you look
happy.

you look
like you're
having a
nice time.

im happy
for you,

even though
im breaking
inside.

i hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
i hate the way you drive your car.
i hate it when you stare.
i hate your big dumb combat boots,
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick;
it even makes me rhyme.
I hate it, I hate it when you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.  
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around,
and the fact that you didn't call.  
But mostly I hate it the way I don't hate you.
Not even close, not even a little bit,

not even at all.

you can call it fate
or destiny
sometimes it really
seems like its a mystery
'cause you can be hurt
by love. and healed by
the same

Timing is everything
