I don't even try
To understand people anymore
An accidental slip of the tongue
Can ruin an entire friendship
And the other "friend"
Doesn't seem to care
I don't even try
To understand people anymore
Absolute insanity
Now plays a role
In everything everybody does
=========== =========== ========
Tear filled eyes
From broken hearts
Shoulders to cry on
From unknown traitors
Insane, crazy screams
Headaches and hollers
Boyfriends and girlfriends
And sad, fake laughter
All found in the Junior High Hall
Where teachers spend more time
Playing on their computers
Than spending time out of their lives
To care for the student
Contemplating suicide
Author notes
The first part (2 stanzas) is how I was feeling at the time I wrote this poem. I don't even know if it fits that great, but in a way (I have a twisted mind sometimes), it really does fit in with the theme.
I entered this poem, not because it's my best, but because it fits in with the teenager theme (I'm 17 and the school is all connected, so I should know). If you don't like it, say so. I have better ones... I think.

This is brilliant.
Teachers never really seem to be as much help as they're supposed to be.
I love the lines :
An accidental slip of the tongue
Can ruin an entire friendship
So very clever.
But if it only takes a few words to ruin a friendship, they can't really be a very good friend. Can they?
I love this piece.
Thank you for entering and good luck!! =] -
Kids these days seem so cruel to each other, always betraying one another, and teachers idly standing by. It is horrible how negleted and lost our youth is because of this. Very powerful write, really grasping the soul and heart of such a tragic truth. Very vivid and eloquent, really touches the reader, grasping! Powerful write that is sadly so true...

It's so sad that it's been this way for years and it's a never ending cycle. Your piece spoke the absolute truth and it's honesty gives it a great appeal. Thank you and best of luck in the contest.
