Contemplating Correction

 

That kid from down the road,

he annoys the hell out of me.

 

Sometimes,

when he rides his bike up to me

and starts to ramble on about nothing,

 

I think how easy it would be,

just there and then

to pull out a knife

and run it sharply across his throat,

and end his rambling forever.

 

 

That boy from school,

who teases and mocks me.

 

Often,

when he comes up to me,

and tells me he cant see my eyes through my acne,

 

I imagine how easily,

I could just wrap my hands

around his skinny, ugly neck,

and make him choke on his own words.

 

 

That stupid dog round back,

the one that yaps and howls.

 

Every now and again,

when it wont shut up,

tied to a tree just making a racket,

 

I wonder what would happen,

if I grabbed that stupid dog,

and tied it to the back of that car,

and watched it drag along the road behind.

 

 

Ah ha, that know-it-all teacher,

the one who thinks they know best,

 

Regularly,

when that teacher tries to sound smart,

when he puts me down as if I'm inferior,

 

I contemplate getting away

with taking my pencil,

and ramming it into his chest

until he bled all over the floor,

in front of the entire class.

 

And then standing up,

and giving them the correct answer.

    Brilliant

    It's very well written and very easy to relate to. Either that or I'm a psychopath too. Now everyone knows not to trust either of us with a knife.

    Anyway, I thouroughly enjoyed this poem.

    lmao

    I love the teacher part. :]

    Anyways, I really like it and it's a keeper in the contest; No DQs for you!

    Anyways, I am going to go figure out if I'm insane for wanting to kill my homeroom teacher.

    Great job and best of luck!
