Get Out

You threaten to shoot my friends dead.
You lie about what they have said.
You mock me in my misery.
You throw your knife at Cameron's head.

That ain't my trip.

You call her curses every day.
But overhear! They claim you're gay.
You flip your lid and kill the kid
And in your room you hide away.

That ain't my trip.

You lie and say I have a crush.
That ain't my trip.
That ain't my trip.
No, that ain't my trip.

It Hurts

So you've found someone new.
It's been 5 days. Not even a week
Is it true? I don't know. I hope not
It could just be a misunderstanding
Maybe she's lying to turn me against you
I just don't know
But it hurts
I'm sitting here with my mind imploding
You said when you were feeling better
You didn't mean that at all
You lied right to me
And it hurts
It sounds cheap, like I don't care
But I do
And I don't claim to be a great poet
I don't even claim to be decent
I don't get poetry.
It's mostly downcast and rarely fun
Where are the poems about a great trip?
Where are the poems about just being satisfied
because you're spending time with someone you love?
But can I really blame them?
I'm just sitting here typing what I think.
I feel betrayed. You can probably tell
This wouldn't have happened on Wednesday
I'm not gonna write a poem over a rejection
Even if it felt like a joke to begin with
Only hours? Are you kidding me? Is this just a prank?
I've written poems about rejection and depression
You can read them if you want
But this is different. Did you even care in the first place?
Right now I'm not so sure
Was it all a ruse just to mess with my head?
I don't know
But I write this poem quick
I'm almost out of time
I've got lunch soon
I'm in study hall
On Wednesday I was fine
I had hours of mental preparation
Even though it hurt, I could cope
This is news
I just heard this morning
About your supposed new relationship
Would you rather I make it public
Over on Tiffin Griffany
Where anyone can see?
Where I said you were my favorite person ever?
Where I can expose you to a wider audience
Of people that won't let this slide?
No-
I'm not like that.
I don't want to do that
I don't want to slander you just because it hurts
That's immature
That's hateful, that's hypocritical
And I'm better than that.
I still love you.

But it hurts.

Kaiper

I can't go to school, so now I'm dumb dumb.
You don't want to know of what I will become.
I stay home all day and I sit on my bum.
My parents won't enroll me. They say, "You see, um....
Making sure you don't get sick is too hard."
In comes a thought and then I discard.
The grey matter up in my skull is like lard.
My brain's so dead it got sued by Yellowcard.
Developing minds need things to develop.
I'm resentful of all the neglect I envelop.
I hate when it comes to the virus, you're zealots.
I want to learn so much my head starts to swell up.
So send me to school please, and don't keep me guarded.
To lock me at home, you shan't be so ardent.
It's my education, I shouldn't have to bargain.
Enroll me in classes! I'd love kindergarten!

In These Recent Days

It used to be fantastic.
I was happy.
The world was bright.
My future was bright.
Our future was bright.
At least that's how I saw it.

You loved me.
I loved you too.
I was ecstatic to see you every day.
When you weren't there, it hurt.
Your beauty humbled me. I felt unworthy.
Even when I was anxious and afraid,
Fearful that you didn't actually love me,
You pulled me through with your kindness and wonderful personality.
My anxiety is gone.

But it took my self-esteem with it.
The void where all that was
Has been replaced with depression and sadness.
You told me you didn't love me anymore.
You only wanted to be friends.
You say I didn't do anything wrong,
But that can't be the case.
I'm such a horrible person that
There must have been something.
Is there someone else?
I just don't know.
In these recent days,
These are the questions I've been asking.
You've always occupied my mind,
But I never wanted it to be like this.

I'm sure you didn't mean to hurt me.
You would never do anything to hurt me.
I know this is true.
But good intentions never saved anyone.

The New Mind

My views are unorthodox.
I have the new mind.
The earth isn't real.
The world isn't kind.
We can fix it, it's true.
We don't need a Prez.
We just need to do
whatever Brea says.
She's smarter than Einstein,
Nietzsche, Aristotle-
Her thoughts are all out there,
Just sip from the bottle.
We must be enlightened
With love and with wisdom,
With heart and with peace
As shown by the Kingdom.
She knows how to help us
From outside the box.
The world of tomorrow
Will soon be unlocked.
Take in her words,
Her soul is so lovely.
Just please take your time
And listen to Covey.
The future I see
Is brighter than ever.
Brea Covey for President,
Then Monarch forever.

Paranoia

She hates me.
She doesn't like me.
She wants nothing to do with me.
She's pretending.
She's lying.
She's faking friendship.
She wouldn't talk to me if she didn't have to.
She never calls.
She feels obligated to be nice out of pity.
She's too good for me.
She knows I'm awful.
She knows I'm stupid.
She knows I don't know how to talk to people.
She knows I think about her for hours every day.
She doesn't want to date me because of who I am.
She's sick of my emotional issues.
She's gorgeous and perfect.

The World's Best Wingman

So yesterday I was at speech, and Cassidy says to me,

"Hey Keri, it's me Cassie.
Don't let that boy walk past me!
Go get his number or his
@ so we can get to snapping."

"'Why not yourself,' you ask me?
Talking to boys is ghastly.
But don't wait up 'cause I look great,
and Hannah's looking classy."

So I say, "Fine, if you say so," so I go down there and I start talking, and I say,

"Hey guys, my name is Keri.
Cass says strangers are scary,
But you should call her now so
Both of you can soon be married."

"And Hannah is a true friend.
You both should know just 2 things:
She's the cutest blonde in town, and
she wants you to move in."

And they're like,

"I'm Will, and this is Ben.
We think they're both a ten,
And doing this for them 
Just shows that you're a real good friend."

And I say, "I know, I am such a great friend to them, aren't I?"

Grande-Butera

My name is Keri
And I love my life
But I'd love it much more
if Ariana Grande was my wife
