English 10 project poem

Mad
Tension
Alot of it
As I sit here thinking to myself
What’s going on’
I’m red and
I don’t know why
When someone speaks to me
I don’t wanna hear
All I want is silence
I have this aggravated feeling in me
I don’t like it all
I’m not happy
I’m stuck in a position I don’t wanna be in
Is gonna go away
When
Why me
What makes this happen?
I walk down the hallway feeling
Like all eyes are on me
Why thoe, why me
What’s happening to me
This is a
Unfamiliar feeling inside of me
I don’t like it
Stop
Please
Is this really going to change?
Well is it
When
How did I get this way
I feel like beaten someone up
Is it anger?
What is it?

The author's comments:
When I wrote this poem I was feeling some type of way. I was mad at the world but I didn’t know I was. I wondered what was going on. I’m usually not feeling this way and I wanted to know which it was anger or being mad. I thought to me and just wrote down what I was thinking at the moment and it came to be a poem. The white space and line breaks I used was basically bring out words and making the poem have more meaning into it. I thought of how I would do it and breaks every peace that had more and more meaning to it. Make the reader think I’m about to reveal how I’m feeling but I’m not.
