Punishments
1 June, 2005
Author: Mike
I must not lie.
I must not steal.
I must not cry.
I must not feel.
I must not cheat.
I must not fight.
I must not be.
I must not hold tight.
I must not live.
I mut not die.
I must not be me.
I must not be alive.
------- Author's Notes -------
You know how when you were younger and got into trouble, the teacher made you write lines? I used to have to write 200 a time. I wrote this poem one day after getting into trouble from my parents for being 'too depressive'. They make me feel that I'm doing something wrong by expressing how I feel, even though I hide my feelings most of the time. It conjured up my memories of writing lines, and it went from there. |
