My Middleschool Rant

I made this poem in middle school. :D There was more to it, but I can't remember much anymore sadly... :( ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My mother was an ostrich, my father was a squirrel My boyfriend fell in love with another lovely girl I’m trying to stay sober, I’m trying to stay clean My teachers all are angry and my boss is very mean I woke up in the dumpster, my money was all gone It was better than the time when I woke up on the lawn I got raped by a turkey, went out with a snail I never get good letters, just death threats and blackmail My cat pissed in my backpack, my brother’s humping chairs I choked on a tic tac, Grandma pushed me down the stairs I j-walked way too much, I finally ended up in jail My parents will not help me—it’s a thousand dollar bail! My mom is flipping out, my dad is mad again And Grandma is upset because, well, Grandpa—he likes men… On my thirteenth birthday, he taught me how to shoot He pushed me off an airplane, without a parachute! I thought my life was over, but then I heard people clap I pulled myself up …I was lying in cow crap. There were monsters all around me, I thought I was alone But then I realized the dreaded truth: I was only back at home

WOW! So you're a natural poet. The poem I wrote in my early teens doesn't even come close...lol I hope this was just a poem and had nothing to do with reality

that last line was funny, The "dreaded" truth to be "back at home!!" This is a nonsensical poem but also it could be a dream poem. it's great fun to read!
