I've been hit by a car before. Mother's Day 1997. I had to go to the hospital. Wow being hit by a car and having a heart attack. I live a pretty f**ked up life.
My friend was hit by a car on his way to school while he was on his bike. He just got up and kept riding. Even though he was all scratched up and whatnot...he had to make it to school before the donuts were sold out.
why are pre-teens thinking/writing about love and death? they should be thinking about dolls and GI Joe and saturday morning cartoons...
Looks like Tasselfoot never went through "that phase". I wrote some pretty incoherent garbage myself when I was twelve- the difference, of course, being that I was highly disturbed and suffering some kind of depression...anywho, let me reach back three years and pull out something from when I was twelve:
"How shall I bear to live my life
With this sorrow you bestow upon my soul?
Soul, that is as black and discouraged
As a beautiful raven with no wings
Who shall protect me now?
Soul, that is damned to hell
To burn and suffer in agony
For all eternity
My soul, which you have destroyed
I hate you"
So yeah. Some of us weren't interested in GI Joes back then.
I hate poetry. If you can write it in verse, that's just fine and dandy but why don't you just write it normally so everyone can read it without thinking you're a genius instead of the moron you actually are? Ok, cynicism past, it's an ok poem, but it sucks at the same time. Write about something I care about, and sure. But a little girl dying over a false love? C'mon, man. That's just pathetic. Try something original. Or read Aristotle first. Rules of Tragedy, folks.
It seems the general opinion on the matter of writing about emotions on FFR is...
"Shut up. Nobody cares about you."
Which is true. There's no need to rant to the world that you're sad/mad/glad about something. Nobody cares. Poetry sucks. It doesn't matter how old you are; it's going to suck if you complain that something didn't go your way. Watch my poetic masterpeice at work:
