poem: “spoiled gals”

They’re over the top,
they never stop.

Gossiping left and right,
they don’t seem too bright.

Complaining about their life,
bringing up new strife.

Their every want is gifted,
their every need is lifted.

Attempting to block them out,
but they continue to shout,
how they deserve more and more,
to be honest, it’s getting quite sore.

High school is hell,
yet they’re catered to with a ring of a bell.

They claim that their life is tough,
but in reality, there are ones more rough.

I wish that they would hush,
and stop with their neverending rush.

They’ll never listen to my insight,
carelessly doing what they think is right.

My eyes roll,
they leave such a toll,
on my mind and sanity,
these girls overflowing with vanity.

Life is not easy-peasy,
they’re gonna grow up to be sleazy.

I’m tired of this shit,
they don’t listen one bit.

Karma is a bitch,
and she sure won’t miss,
these basic white bitches,
will one day hope that she misses.

poem: “caged rage”

I can’t identify, 
only one reason why 
I am forced to turn a blind eye. 

I’m confined to my chain, 
I start to strain, 
my anger swirls like a hurricane. 

I can’t get free, 
she’s stinging like a bee, 
I’m withering away into a nobody. 

She wants to control, 
I’m as helpless as a tadpole, 
wanting to hide away in a hole. 

Despite all my rage, 
I am still just a rat in a cage. 
I want to disengage, 
but she keeps going on a rampage. 

Not a child anymore, 
but definitely not an adult, 
it’s getting quite sore. 

I’m sick of all this shit, 
she’s such a bitch. 
I can’t wait to escape, 
while she watches with a gape.
