Outside, Looking In

[mathiasthom]

Came back to that adolescent hell

with a pecking order

that surely is a symptom

of another bipolar disorder

Flick the lights on

tear the lid off

stained dog-eared pages

filled with silent rages

Remembering unqualified teachers

preaching twisted morality

God forbid if you ever found yourself

on the outside, looking in

Locked out, punched in the face

hateful words, spreading vulgarity

all over the place,

retreated inward, another hardened case

Eyes that stare accusingly

out at the world

to this day,

some scars will never fade away
