To A Class Like Mine

• Artist: Chantarelle-Talon
• Description: Well I wrote this after a grad class mate of mine died in an accident. It didn't really bother me much since I wasn't really friends with her. I did care but I wasn't that sad over it. This poem could as so be called an emo moment is someone wishes to label it. But I think it's fairly good...I posted this on my myspace before posting it here because I tend to lose the paper that I write on....Im sorry if this offends anyone.

You ask me why
I'd rather die
Then remember the years gone by
You seem shocked and surprised
When I say
"I just don't care"
When one of us dies
It affects me a little
Other then that
I don't really think about it
I see the looks you give
I hear the giggles
The only reason I even bother to go
Isn't because of what I'm told
It's because the sooner I go
The quicker it ends
The lies you tell
The truths you hide
No one really knows why
We play such twisted games
Two truths for a lie
Is what I'm told
But is that the case?
To a class like mine
Where most are the same
Where each person comes with a label attached
Each one strugging to defend another's rights
But what of the rights of the quiet?
To a class like mine
These rights don't matter
They slip through the cracks
Falling into the abyss
Left to fight alone
To fight agianst the words uttered
I'm sorry I can't be like the rest of the class
With perfection pouring out of every feature
Few have seen tears from my eyes
I'm too stuborn
Too proud
To share anymore emotions such as this
The differences that tear apart
Should bring together
To a class like mine
A class already torn beyond repair
Shall we now try to stich it back together?
Or would it be better to let it fall apart?

No, it's not offending, not at all, to express how u trully feel and not paint it over with a false emotion. This poem is good but a little too long, over all it's awesome...
