Stupidity runs rampant, In the halls of JHS. I’ve seen it with my own eyes, Not just that though. I’ve dated several guys, That run with Stupidity. (I guess that, I, myself ran with Stupidity.) I try to stay away from them, But I keep getting sucked in. I have friends that run with the group, But I distant myself when they’re around. Now, before you get upset, Let me explain myself. They argue and fight, About stupid, piddly stuff. One guy I know, Even stole a tailgate. (I must admit, I ran with him for awhile.) But that’s over now, Ended because of stupidity. He’s the one that drew me in, And introduced me to stupidity. But theres still more, To this tale of mine. Sometymes it’s calm, But once ya get used to it . . . All hell breaks loose, And it frightens me. (I heard one of them had a gun.) One of “his” friends, I once called him a friend, too. It being one of his friends, Frightens me the most. You see, he’s labeled a “Redneck”, And around JHS, they got a bad label. They’re labeled as “stupid” and “crazy,” I believe he’s both, to bring a gun to school. I’ve seen him since, and smiled, I didn’t know what else to do. (What would you have done, knowing he owns a gun?) And now you know m y story, As well as why I say that: “Stupidity runs rampant, In the halls of JHS.” i dont know if i should cry because its over, or smile because it happened |

This was an ok poem. Not your best tamma, but it does discuss how you feel about how things are going down in your present school life. I hope all is safe. ![]() I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

This is a pretty good poem. It sounds like a lot is going on at your school. I hope it's nothing too serious. Good job. --Marie I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am. |

THis isn't great, but it's not horrible, like my poem (The Last Time We Talked) but your poem's true. Every word of it is the truth about what we got through every single day at school. And people wonder why I consider school and prison to be the same thing. Same types of people. Hmmmmmph. I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to. I never thought that I couldn't. |

It really shows how pathetic life is getting when we can't even feel safe at school, the one place we all don't want to be at anyways. This was a decent poem Tamma, although I have seen a whole lot better from you. I hope you can change the position that you are in. Jon "Your anger is a gift"-Rage Against The Machine |
