I'm not going to answer this senseless drivel
With an Honest-to-God bit o' sense.
"And just how does that make you FEEL...?"
Ah, let me count the ways...
Like bashing your face against this particleboard table
Until that question is finally dead.
Like bouncing around in the loony bin
With the 'Barney Song' stuck in my head!
Like doing something,
Whatever,
ANYTHING at all
To get that cursed question out of my head.
"Um, Please answer... How does that make you feel?"
"Like making you scream for mercy,
Beg for forgiveness
And shut UP for a day..."
Any questions?

Oh, my goodness... how true!
Oh, worse yet... "How was it for you?"
A good answer for that might be, "What?" Laughing here and thinking what fun this contest is. 
Thank you for helping me to have such a good time this weekend!

this poem strikes a personal cord in me, I like how you tried to personify the anger that you feel at heering that evil question. or maybe its just simple frustration at the stupidness (though that word seems inadequet) of the psyciatrists and the counselors and the concerned adults that feel they need to know exactly whats going on in your head even though you cant even begin to explain it to yourself. oh my aslkdjfsdkj!!!!! just thinking about it..... oh well, deep breath, turn the hate inwards and smile for the camera, right?
