Stop it

It was funny once

near the beginning

but I asked you guys to stop

and did you?

Heck, no

you didn't

not at all

I told you and all of your stupid friends to stop

over

and over

and over

I can't even remember how many times

it's not funny anymore;

it got old once it started

I want to enjoy my classes

but you're there

your friends are their

idiots like you are there

you don't keep your mouth shut

you just keep going,

just keep pissing all of us off

remember where that got you last time?

You made our band teacher cry

yes, that's right

did you forget?

Was it all a joke to you?

It must've been

because you never changed

you never righted any of the grossly large number of wrongs that you've made

you've never admitted your faults

what's wrong with you people?

I'd like to live my life and stinking get on with the assignment

but you're there playing when you're not supposed to

just because there's no adult man to tell you to shut up?

I want to get somewhere useful and fun

but you just want to piss us all off

you just want to turn off the lights and walk out of the room

you just want to press my buttons

you just want to get away with shit

that's not okay

at

all

maybe be mature for once?

Maybe leave me be

and if you're going to be a twit

do it somewhere else?

    Your new-ish house

    your dog sleeping on the rug

    my family and your family chatting comfortably

    your kitchen with your hot chocolate

    the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island

    that's one of my happy places

  • Acceptance

    When we see flaws in ourselves

    we withdraw from society

    curl in on ourselves

    trying to hide from our insecurities.

    The thing is

    people struggle to understand

    that their faults are a part of themselves
