The suggested metaphor is
persian rug floor mats
or door mats
because we will
accept anything he says
if he uses chalk to express it
but impressive
isn't my impression
and I'm so pressed in
to this tiny
chair as the person behind me fidgets
and kicks his flailing legs at
a system that either doesn't exist
or thrives off his disrespect,
that I can almost
feel myself giving in
to stop the pressure.
In a rush of panic
and rebellion, I write
"Hey" back
but only on paper
so I can crumple it
up and swallow it if
I get caught.

This is really great. I can relate a lot. But it'll definitely get better with time. I'll be sure to read some more!!
