Forget
What was that word?
I can’t go on without that word.
My life is at a standstill.
My Addiction
What happened to the chocolate?
I know I didn’t eat it all.
I only had a piece or two.
It’s 11:00 – where can I get more chocolate?
I need chocolate.
Secrets
I don’t share your values
I’m here undercover
I’m an alien
You seem like nice people, but if you knew me, you would hate me.
School World
“Please disregard the bell until it rings.”
“Take off your hat – it’s not Hat Day!”
“I know that look! I have a teenager of my own! I’m writing you up!”
“No spaghetti straps.”
“Four fingers above the knees.”
“His whole family is like that.”
“I know you want to save her, but she’s been like that since 4th grade.”
“This year we will will turn the whole school into a testing factory.”
“You are not here to be their friend.”
Be Change
Be the change you wish to see in the world
Be the change you wish to see
Be the change you wish
Be the change

Thanks – every once in a while I get inspired to write some poems. Here’s another post of my poetry: https://daisybrain.wordpress.com/2010/09/18/instant-poems/
I really like your poems abichica! A lot of them are pretty sad and filled with anxiety and angst, but the upside is that those feelings can make powerful poems.
