POEM STARTER

“Clouds cover the skies, rain pulls at your eyes,

but nothing hurts as much as little words turned lies'

Use this stanza as either part of, or inspiration for a poem.

Nothing Hurts More

“Atleast I’m smarter than you, cute slowpoke”

You said with a smug smile

As you saw me get a C

On that math test you took yesterday

Which you failed so badly on

Not a single answer right

Didn’t even spell his name correctly

“I’m sorry you feel that way”

You said, surprised and angered

When I got mad at you

For making me lose my shot with a girl

A girl who I loved, who I wanted to be with

By joking to her about how I “like to pleasure myself”

Even though I don’t “do that”

Nor have I ever thought of baby gorillas or old Natzis while doing “that”

“It’s not a big deal

Look, everyone’s related to each other

Meaning you must have other grandpas, right?

So, you’re just overreacting”

You said, smiling at me

Almost looking like you wanted to laugh at me

While I was bawling on the floor

Upset over how I got last place in that science fair

Because I wasn’t even finished

That meant a lot to me and my family

Because if I would have gotten first place

I would have won enough money

Enough to get Grandpa that heart surgery

“Oh, come on, just be stronger”

You said as you shook your head

Having a weird-looking smile on your face

While you were also struggling to lift like me

Lifting your backpack up

Your barely loaded backpack up

Even though I have been hurt before

From some other things

Like getting bruised

Having bullies

Losing people I’ve known

Seeing clouds cover up skies

While rain pulls at my eyes

After my dog ran away

He’s lost now

But nothing

Nothing hurts more

Than my “friend”

With his little words

With his little lies

“Hey! I am your friend!

You’re lucky I’m such a benevolent, amazing friend to you!

Let alone just for me to let myself be seen near you!”

You shouted angrily

As you shove me against my locker

As I cry quiety to myself
