School

by Kurt   Jan 24, 2007


Torment tortures me
Images agonize my mind
You see none of that
With my face I hide behind

Tears burn my eyes
At the dead of night
Fending off the nightmares
Which they do ignite

I'm said to be an ass
Yet I'm just misunderstood
If they got to know me
They'd realize I was good

But instead they yell
Laugh at when I fall
Relish in their hatred
Despise my standing tall

All of this burns inside
Gashing my lonely heart
They don't understand the pain
Of being set apart

I'm so sick of school
My anger builds to rage
The campus stands for nothing more
Then a prisoner's cage

Cramming for my finals
To get all my A's
I'm losing my control
Falling cold and dazed

Save me please
From this hell of mine
Where the demons play
And the Devil dines.

    I loved it! Especially the last stanza. And, the last two lines. Lol. I always love the ending of your poems. This poem got better with each stanza, just as most of your poetry does. The flow seemed a bit off in the first stanza, and the first stanza only. Other than that you did a great job.

    Keep it up

    -I'll be honset with you; I was bullied at school. I don't know whether your story is true or not; but the comments I got everyday for almost two years were slowly breaking me. But I stood up tall, and as much as I was frightened to do so, it only helped boost my self esteem. Eventually, I was, you could say, the most popular kid in school because I put an end to their nonsense! :]

    A well expressed piece, well done.

    This poem is probably one of my favorites of yours and what's more is that it is true. I see this happen all the time and its scary. People don't realize that what is on a person's outside is just a facade and I thought you really got that point across in the poem.
    This was really well written and I loved this part the most:
    "Save me please
    From this hell of mine
    Where the demons play
    And the Devil dines. "

    This was an awesome poem!
