The Bird is the Word: Sophisticated Schoolyard Shenanigans
By Charles Schnell
When you write down
Your thoughts and your feelings,
Truthfully,
You materialize it.
Your thoughts and feelings
Are a physical substance,
Made by ink on paper.
Your brain recognizes them
As real, and
Not all in your head.
That’s why
Writing
Is the ultimate form of
Therapy.
No one controls your
Thoughts and feelings
But you in your writings,
Just like how
I am writing this poem
And sharing my thoughts and feelings with you
Now.

Waking up,
6 o’clock am,
nervous to an extreme,
get ready get dressed try to impress,
or leave yourself floating out in the void.
You’ve done this before,
oh many times, but those experiences,
cannot compare at all.
Don’t you dare get lost in those halls;
do you want to be the fool again?!
Well what a surprise the teachers are actually nice,
this is a welcome change of scene;
WAIT the textbooks are actually from this century!?
End of the day,
I’m completely exhausted,
but it didn’t end in a complete tragedy.
Maybe this school really is for me?
