#revoked - Hello Poetry

I repeated every lesson, hearing every drowning word... Every syllable that was recast, but I never learnt a single... done over, duplicated.. Reproduced as another version of the same verse.. Everything was! refashioned, redone, remade.. In the fashion of what was before. But even though I sat in every class.. I never took a single word in.. The teachers changed, but I remembered that one who made me resit every lesson.... I cant see anything in this crammed space... But hopefully one day some one will cover me for a toilet break.. And I'll be peace.... I resit every lesson and still all I see is deathly words.. Never heard, but reverberating though hollow bones

Lessons Never Learnt

I repeated every lesson, hearing every drowning word... Every syllable that was recast, but I never learnt a single... done over, duplicated.. Reproduced as another version of the same verse.. Everything was! refashioned, redone, remade.. In the fashion of what was before. But even though I sat in every class.. I never took a single word in.. The teachers changed, but I remembered that one who made me resit every lesson.... I cant see anything in this crammed space... But hopefully one day some one will cover me for a toilet break.. And I'll be peace.... I resit every lesson and still all I see is deathly words.. Never heard, but reverberating though hollow bones

I'll pretend that what happened is no longer. I'll show you that I don't need you. I'll show you I've moved on. But I won't show you the tears I shed on my notebook. I won't show you the scars you left on my heart. Your rights have been revoked. You don't deserve me. You never did.

you never did

I'll pretend that what happened is no longer. I'll show you that I don't need you. I'll show you I've moved on. But I won't show you the tears I shed on my notebook. I won't show you the scars you left on my heart. Your rights have been revoked. You don't deserve me. You never did.

Caged. It is all I can describe it. This, is what I carry on my back everyday. This, is what I feel, deep down inside. Confined in a gray box, trying, to one day get out. To be free. To roam the wilderness of this world. And when I am free to do so, I take this privilege for granted. All I seem to do is mess up. To bring disappointment. To bring scorn. When I do so. This privilege slips away from my fingertips It is taken back, revoked. And once more, I feel like I am C a g e d.

Confined, Caged

He got expelled this time. He wasn't sent to In-school suspension Or lunch detention Or the counselor's office. He was expelled from Fairfax County Public Schools. And his friends all freaked. They sat outside the school Every morning And wouldn't go in To protest. They signed a petition That called him a "Well rounded student" And "Well loved by the student body." I didn't love Brian. I hated Brian. Brian was the kid Who always Made the class Stay late. He was the kid who Went through the halls Grabbing peoples butts. He was the kid that All the guys wanted to be And all the girls wanted to have. And instead of sending him off To West Point Where he would have to Shave his Bieber hair and Follow the rules for once, The county revoked the expulsion. And to me It seems like A celebrity murdered someone And because a thousand fan letters were sent in They got to go free.
