The taunts seem to be never ending
Life used to be so sweet
ever since this transition
they keep on bothering me

My hair, my shoes, my walk
every minor detail
becomes augmented and ridiculed
in this civilization known as
‘High School’

‘We love you’
my parents say
‘Ignore them’
the teachers
What do I say?

GoodBye Cruel World!
Let me escape this labyrinth
of never ending flames

© Elisabeth R., Elmont, NY

The author's comments:
I wrote this while thinking about the streotypical high school life, where everybody is classified into a social clique. I wrote this poem in the perspective of a social outcast, looking to end it all.
