Left to zero Right to twelve...
You can see us standing
And we can see you
We just stand there hoping
You won't leave us black and blue.
Don't break eye contact
It'll show a sign of weakness
So we'll just stand here hoping that
You don't point out uniqueness.
Pressed against the lockers
Maybe you'll just walk by
Maybe it'll just be words today
And no punches will fly.
Your hot breath on our faces
Your teeth bared like fangs
People in the halls
No one heard the bang.
The locker slammed shut
There was barley enough room
It was dirty and cramped
Couldn't see through the gloom.
The minute bell rang
The hallways cleared out
Stuck in a locker
And no one to hear the shout.

When You Read it, You'll know me
PoetryJust words that flow A river in my head It twists and turns And never stays the same The current is strong You can never go back Pen it down And remember The joy of the ride Through the rough bumpy tide That are the words In my mind.
