Shut up! I wish not to speak to you.
All I desire is to flee from you.
To you, I’m your target,
Your drool mat, your servant.
What the heck do I have to do
To go along with this strenuous cue?
You taunt me, kick me, punch me,
And ask me for favors in return.
Well, shut up, you can never learn from me.
My anger, my strength, my screeches;
Don’t mess with me because I go
Ballistic in your reaches.
Go away! You’re trash to me,
And stop trying to place me under your wrath.
SHUT UP!

The author's comments:
I also wrote this in seventh grade, the most troubling time of my life. Not only did one of my good friends prepared to move away, but I kept being bullied as I mentioned in the description of "Alone". Sure this may sound like a harsh poem, but think of it this way: it's the inner emotions one may feel when they know an enemy just won't quit.
