In an upside-down garden

Talked to you on the phone last night,
told you my adventures for the day,
told you what happened at school, and home,
and you listened like you always do.
Told you how the doctors made me give blood,
when I didn't want to, and how much it hurt,
because I'm terrified of needles and blood combined,
and you didn't know that.
Told you how I can hardly walk because I wanted to save a friend,
and instead I got pulled across the floor and over books and chairs,
I told you loads and loads of things,
and you told me nothing about you, but that's the way it always is.
And I'm used to it.

This is just my little rant. I know it sucks, so please don't say that.

I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to.  I never thought that I couldn't.
Life's tough, get a helmet.

Are you ok?  What's the story behind this poem?
You have me worried now... please tell us what happened.

OK, the eyebrows are risen...It doesn't suck at all. It always helps to rant and get everything out. One part that really caught the attention was "and instead I got pulled across the floor and over books and chairs." This doesn't sound too friendly.

Hope you keep on smiling and if you're not, talk to someone.

this certainly doesn't such.  it was written as a rant and it expresses your feelings beautifully and it is very heartfelt.  i hope everything is ok and that things get better for you.  

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Allan, okay, on tues. two boys in my class got in a fight in English.  Since I'm bigger than one of them and stronger than one of them, I jumped on the smaller one's arm.  Because I was sitting down in my chair, I got pulled off of my chair because I could only catch him with one arm.  They also pulled me across the floor and through books and things.  That messed up my knee.  Then yesterday I went to the doctor's and they decided they wanted blood to test me for high cholestorol, and blood and needles together scare me VERY VERY MUCH.  I was laughing and crying at the same time and I couldn't breathe the way they wanted me to.  Anyways, I talked to Justin last night and told him about all this and this rant is just about how I want him to tell me about him and where his father is and all this because the only way I can get him to tell me anything is by asking him the same question over and over again until I annoy him.  Anyhow, byes.

I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to.  I never thought that I couldn't.

Well done Allysa, you shouldn't be getting into petty fights, but hey....
anyway i enjoyed this one.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
