You don’t know about real stress, he said.
She was at the end of her tether
stressed from work.
That’s why she screamed at you,
when you vomited all over the floor
Because of Dengue Fever
You must forgive her, he said
Does that make me so
Unlovable?
You’re too fat, she said.
No one will want you.
That was said, after a day,
of being tormented by bullies
and being yelled at by teachers
A blow to the head, shoved to the ground
Instructions to do sit-ups
despite pains from IBS
Then more screams, as I soiled my pants
Does that make me so
Unlovable?
Stressed teachers taking out
their shit on us
Disrupting our inner peace
Stressed parents taking out
their shit on us
Disrupting our inner peace
Asshole bullies taking out
their shit on us
Disrupting our inner peace
Is it really that strange, then
that the suicide rate is so high?
Everyone is unbalanced
Mentally, Spiritually, and Emotionally
Because society, and existence
as we know it, is so very
Unlovable
