What Is Wrong?

Nothing.
I am biting my nails
down to the bed, until
they bleed so I can feel
the burning of bacteria
sticking to fresh flesh.













Everything.
I put on the most












uncomfortable pair of







underwear I own
and now I have to
dig for gold
every five minutes.
Plus
I have a hole in my pants
and people are yelling
the, “My Little Pony Theme
song”, throughout the
hallways.
Nothing.
I wore black socks,
a black cotton t-shirt,
black Levi jeans,
a black headband,
and
black shoes,
because it’s national
“Black” day.
Everything.
I woke up to make
breakfast and realized
there were no more
chocolate chips to melt onto
my Eggo waffles and burned
the Oscar Mayer bacon in the
frying pan.

Nothing.
I just popped
a couple pimples
during passing period
and now my face
resembles a pizza.
Sauce only.
No cheese.
Why you ask?


Everything.
I bit all my nails off.
I have an enormous wedgie and hole in my jeans.
I am wearing black on a hot sunny day.
I am starving and my stomach is growling.
I have popped puss all over my face.


Anything else you want to know?


The author's comments:
In my Creative Writing class, we were given the opportunity to answer the most frequently asked question. I chose, "What is wrong?" because I think that people of society are always asked this question because people expect the "proud to be an american" emotion and if people violate the social norm they are questioned as a true american.
