I can't wait for winter break,
Too much work and my brain aches,
Could just stop that's all it takes,
But I'm doing this for their sake,
Learn things for tests no mistakes,
Relate fingers to great lakes,
Superior till' I break,
To Michigan that's the stakes,
Get her on to take the cake,
Ontario has the steak,
More eerie than poison snakes,
To remember words and shapes,
That's what's done rewind the tapes.

Tuesday

“Sir,” I ask, and raise my hand,
“Does it need to rhyme?” I chew on
My pencil with the other one.

“Oh no,” he says, “And thank
Goodness for that, else dialogue
Would be a nightmare.”

school

why
do i
have to go to
school

suffering
my teachers
get paid

but no one else does
we must
work
and work
and work

until we are
"smarter"

oppressed to be
"creative"
but they don't want us to be
creative
do they

the smart
know
that we are being worked

so that we can get a
job

but we are already working a
job

and we're not being paid

work
work
and work some
more

all-nighters just
to survive the
drowning
of homework

i want to escape
from this
hell
they call
"learning"

This is just my interpretation of school.

A Message To The Bullies In My Head:

I feel blue.
I feel grey.
And you are bullying by the way.
I have feelings, but they are hidden by my willingness for you to be forgiven.
The words you say are just like spears,
piercing hearts and driving tears.
And, you know, you're a fool
if you think you can push people around at school.
You might get caught.
I'm warning you.
And then what are you going to do?
It hurts my heart,
it makes me sad.
And on occasion, it makes me mad.
I've known you since nursery school
when it didn't matter if we were cool.
Now look at what you've done, you clown.
Someday your own words will bring you down.

This poem is about my personal struggles with bullying in the past and present. I hope someone reads this and feels it.

to a boy i used to love

hey, Alex
remember me?
maybe you do
maybe you don't
i don't see you anymore
where did you go?
did you decide to go to college?
you graduated last year
i cheered for you at the ceremony
we didn't get to talk though
you used to work at walmart
maybe you still do
but i'm still in school
i remember waving to you every time i saw you
and you knew i liked you
you always smiled at me to make me blush
and it worked
i remember when we first met
in the back of a school van
on our way to some plastic company for a field trip
you were a senior
i was a freshman
the trip was for seniors only
but the teacher liked me
so he let me go
you knew my sister
and that's how we met
it's crazy how things happen
we would wave to each other every time we passed each other in the halls
and eventually, we had a handshake we would do
there were many times my ex was being an *******
and made me cry right in the middle of school
and you would always be there to comfort me
then my friend told you i liked you
and i was always a coward when it came to this stuff
but i walked up to you in the hallway
asked if you had a girlfriend
you said no
but that you weren't looking for a relationship
i was upset
but it was okay
i wonder where you are now
every time i saw you
my heart would race
i bet if i saw you now
it would do the same thing
i still remember your voice
i wish i could hear it again
i miss you

I hate myself I wanna die
I hate myself I wanna cry
I find my friends to feel okay
cause I don't wanna be this way

the pressure you give is way to much
and I just want to chill no rush

see if I die won't need to live
my families life can finally begin

they’ll work on the second daughter, she
And shape her into what they need her to be
And once she soars with her success
They’ll claim our broken family is blessed

I told you what I loved to do, and you just didn't care
so why the **** would I share my life and speak to you and bear
out all my feelings on the floor so you can look and stare
and scream the words " I'm disappointed in you" and make it sound real rare.

P.S. I hate science and I'm probably going to fail biology

a lions bite

A small species in the vast jungle.
Full of predators, not friends.
When they want to bite you.
They aim for your head.

For me this is imagery of my school but it can be interpreted multiple different ways.

Engineer A Future

Sitting still and doing nothing
is not an option when motion is impending

A surprisingly poetic quote from my Statics professor - Dr. Abbott

F***ed

I don’t know if being pregnant
Was on my mind
Or the fear of being left behind
Unable to rewind,
Back to the time
In which I was able to make good decisions
To think with great precision
To look beyond a short sighted vision.

Taking a risk,
Over someone who doesn’t care for you
Lack of resolve to take care of you
A person who doesn’t care for Love
And I simply paying the price
For disobeying the king above
Because I did wrong instead of doing right

His final straw has been cut,
And unfortunately I am out of luck
****.
Yes I am what you call, f**ed
