School Through The Crazy Kids P.O.V 14/15

by Ashleigh Skye   Dec 15, 2006


A million voices in my ear,
all telling my to proceed,
screaming at me to take that step,
and after which I will succeed.

Remove each and every student,
every teacher in sight,
burn the building to the ground,
then I will win this internal fight.

I am doing this to save them,
from all the horrors they will face,
folding them, bending them, breaking their stride,
setting them free in a better place.

I'm letting them go while their happy,
not yet broken by the world around,
while they still know how to smile, and laugh, and play,
not yet injured by sights or sounds.

Plucking the apple while it's ripe,
before it has time to rot,
cleansing the heart and soul of scars,
any lingering pain the mind forgot.

When my deed is complete,
my spot above will be secure,
as I save the people in the school,
from a pain they should not endure.

Just like putting a dog to sleep,
no one will feel a thing,
as they ride toward eternal bliss,
no longer held back by the string.

Walking down the hall,
the gun firmly in my hand,
the voice ringing in my ear,
eventually they will understand.

    Wonderful poem. Its so different, and I love the idea and imagery you portray through your words. I can often relate. My favorite lines are:

    "Plucking the apple while it's ripe,
    before it has time to rot,
    cleansing the heart and soul of scars,
    any lingering pain the mind forgot."

    Amazing words. Simply brilliant. Keep it up!

    This poem is excellent. I especially loved the line "Plucking the apple while it's ripe,
    before it has time to rot" Very powerful with sharp imagery. Also, the theme was depicted well and is extremely relevant to a lot of events happening around the country. Props!
