Is grey your favorite color?
The shade of stagnation
The memory of disappointment
The sky on the worst of days
Grey like the colors of your heart
The grey from stormy clouds

I live in the stories that I create,
in the books that I read and make,
the stories in my head
because it is better instead.
I imagine many things,
many horrible things,
things wonderful,
Life becomes rather monochromatic
when you become very melodramatic,
because your friends aren't really estatic
to talk to the self fanatic,
and social interation becomes problematic,
I've never really sat down to write a poem
Just sat to write thoughts from my head
Never really thought to write a poem
Maybe I'll write one by the time I'm dead
But now I sit facing a window
I am inadequate.
(is that an SAT word?)
adj. lacking the quality or quantity required; insufficient for a purpose
In a world chock full of Merit Scholars, and teenage charity founders, and tech wizards,
It started with a sharp point and a pink ball on the other side. My thoughts wonder wonderously as the minute hand laps the hour hand. As my heart synced with the clicking of the clock's minutes so did my hand to my heart and mind.
I've had excellent teachers in my time.
Some with good looks
Some with easy tests
Some with interesting lectures.
But you, you're different.
I should have looked you up online to see how you were.
My ship is setting sail once again
amidst clouds of vikings and popes
and as I'm drifting into the sea of sleep
I begin to lose all hope.
Talk, talk, talk.
Thats all you ever do.
Can I just leave please
I'm not feeling school today
Sitting for hours
Staring at this wall, so bored
Only three more blocks left, score
Student:
Thump, tap, scratch, groan,
Clock sounding ticking tock ticking.
Sigh, glance, slouch, count,
Steps and monotonous lectures.
Blame it on me,
the student.
All because I can't see
I can't see why you teach;
All you do is preach.
There's never a lesson.
In one ear and out the other,
is my confession.
I sit in this class,
Boredom running its fingers through my hair.
Teacher is talking history,
Delving into some guy's affair.
Then we move on to slavery,
A topic I have learned of before.
It's a Wednesday in November
And I'm struggling to keep my eyes open
I must look a mess
My eyes are droopy
And my hair is unbrushed
I'll admit, I didn't try at all this morning
Clock ticking
Time slipping
A droning sound
A droning sound
A droning sound
Fallen heads
With drooping ears
Drooling lips
Snoring noses.
A class about myths
We all stroll in to class.
The bell rings.
"Settle down class."
You take roll.
"Here."
You tell us we're taking notes.
We all sigh in your ear.
Taking notes is a drag.
School was a blur,
I wish it were
more fun.
First Period: I stepped in gum.
squish, squash.
Second Period: My brain on overload: numb.
zzzt, peeeww.
What the hell is it?
First, you want me to raise my hand in class
Then, you want me to particapate less
Now, you want me to completely shut up?
What the hell is it?
Please hurry up
Make up your mind
School is torture
This I can not be more sure
The teachers like vultures
Misery they ensure
When the bell rings
They act like kings
Barking out commands
That every student withstands
Mr. Forevergingerman
Stares blankly at the page
It’s covered in words
Words
Just rolling and spinning on and off the page
Words everywhere
Everything is words
And nothing is words
The fuck do I look like?
Listening to your voice rambling on and on
Your stupid syllabus and grading scale is all wrong
I get graded for saying things in class?
How about this: Kiss my natural black ass.

He was immersed in the hum-drum of everyday life,
his Mondays bleeding into his Tuesdays, just as it had for fifty-five years.
Protected by his shining armor of ignorance,
he was untouchable.
