Wow John, that's some really powerful writing. I knew how it was going to end because I saw the title. Almost wish I hadn't. That last line packs a huge punch and would have given me a nice case of Goosebumps had I not read the title of your poem. smile

At any rate, I'm sure you earned an A for the elective class you were in at the time, right? Even if you didn't garner an A, I'd venture to guess you actually gained a whole lot more from the entire experience, no matter the grade for the class.

Thank you for sharing and even though the subject matter is edgy, I absolutely LOVED reading it. Honesty in its rawest form is not only rare, but terribly exciting, in my opinion. The world needs more of it!
