2: Scratch

I used to go to kindergarten and primary school.

I would dress up as princesses and my favorite Toy Story character

Jess. Then, one day,

I saw my teacher cry. She bid us farewell

And then, next autumn, I saw a big banner that read

"Welcome to Middle School, dear friends!"

All of sudden girls started wearing

Makeup and high heels.

Their voices sounded like fingernails on blackboard

They had their nails done.

I was dumbfounded, in my leather jacket and Converse.

I enjoyed SpongeBob while they talked about boys.

And that year I realised

That words could scratch sharper

And more painful than professionally done manicured nails.

Cheers to the teenage years, my

Fellow friends! For no years are as

Overdramatized, crazy, and

Painfully scratching,

As these.
