Wrapped Around Your Finger (A Michael Clifford fanfiction)

// Malia //
Eu e o michael chegamos à escola e vamos para a aula de inglês, onde escrevemos um texto um pouco... Melancólico? Sim.

O tema era: acabaste agora de ler um excerto do livro "the perks of being a wallflower", de Stephen Chbosky, um poema que a personagem principal leu, qual é a tua opinião acerca do seu significado?

O poema era o seguinte:
(Por favor leiam, é um pouco triste, mas é muito bonito, está em inglês, portanto se não entenderam alguma coisa digam que eu traduzo, boa leitura)

" Once on a yellow peice of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
and he called it "chops"
because that was the name of his dog
and thats what it was all about
his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
and his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts.
that was the year Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
and he let them sing on the bus
and his little sister was born
with tiny nails and no hair
and his mother and father kissed alot
and the girl around the corner sent him a
Valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
and his father always tucked him in bed at night
and was always there to do it

once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
he called it "Autumn"
because that was the name of the season
and that's what it was all about
and his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
and his mother never hung it on the kithcen door
beause of the new paint
and the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
and left butts on the pews
and sometime they would burn holes
that was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
and the girl around the corner laughed
when he asked her to go see santa claus
and the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed alot
and his father never tucked him in bed at night
and his father got mad
when he cried for him to do it

once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
and he called it "Innocence: A Question"
because that was the question about his girl
and thats what it was all about
and his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because he never showed her
that was the year Father Tracy died
and he forgot how the end
of the Apostles's Creed went
and he caught his sister
making out on the back porch
and his mother and father never kissed
or even talked
and the girl around the corner
wore too much make up
that made him cough when he kissed her
but he kissed her anyway
because it was the thing to do
and at 3 am he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring soundly

that's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
and he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
because that's what it was really all about
and he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
and he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didnt think
he could reach the kitchen"

Pessoalmente acho um poema incrível, mostra a evolução da vida de alguém que teve uma infância feliz para algo triste. Alguém que teve tudo, principalmente a sua inocência, algo que considero das melhores coisas no mundo, mas que lha foi retirada por outros. Uma pessoa que foi feliz e se deliciava com os pequenos momentos da vida, mas que essa vida lhe foi sugada lentamente, até lhe restar apenas um grande vazio no coração.
