Dear "PULP"
I think "PULP" is amazing, I feel like you really understand what my whole world is about. But I noticed you haven't put out another issue in a while. I thought you might need some SUBMISSIONS. This is one of my poems that I wrote about my life. It would be awesome if you published it.
Eternally, Black Rose

Apathy
by Black Rose
Let me paint you a dark picture or two.
I'll tell you what I do
inside my bedroom.
In the black night,
it's always the same.
Thoughts of school
invade my mind.
Books lie open before me,
but I CANNOT read them.
I WILL NOT read them.
Study, study, study,
they tell me...
But, why?
It's useless. I don't need to know this.
Why do they think I want to know
how many electrons are in an atom?
It isn't something I WANT to know.
So, instead,
I do something
no one wants me to do.
I think.
I think for myself.
I analyze.
I examine the grey world
with my own eyes.
And, what I see is hell on earth.
What I see causes me more pain.
It makes me despise
My eyes.
None of it matters.
And then, I can't feel anything either,
I become APATHETIC, too.
There's no way I can escape this cage
Because this is REAL
(Thank You) |
I'm fairly positive that this isn't a genuine submission, but merely a prank by a particulary disgruntled English teacher at my old High School who likes to get his kicks by acting like a frat boy most of the time. But it's much funnier to pretend that this is a real poem, expressing real teenage angst, written by a real idiot.
