Let's tick
the clock with a
midnight bomb.
Annoy till the
minute hand
falls off.
This fist is fit
to bruise any lips
from a childish remark.
The alarm is ringing
to make your
ears scream.
It keeps you
bleeding,
on impact,
as safety leaves.
Countdown
your esteem.
There are bullies
with (tick)
an agenda to break me.
Their arsenal of
insults
written in chalk.

This is an interesting poem. I like the metaphors used here. Very creative. The word diction makes this poem pop. Nice flow and good rhythm. Good job with this poem. Thanks for entering.

Is this a general rant against those violent cowards called bullies, or did something happen..?
"There are bullies

... love that tick. Freaking awesome little word that fits.
I like how this poem seemed a little less smooth and melodic.. like the actual chopping off of lines and such was intentional to show frustration and anger. At least.. that is how my screwy mind sees it as. But I liked that, a lot.
Great poem GOW. Keep on writing forever.
