A Stupid Number
Location
I only want to leave this place.
Yet at my current pace,
I'm going to trip and stumble.
Everything I do ends up as bad as a sports metaphor referencing a fumble.
So now I'm just angry,
Not angry at my family,
Not angry at my friends,
Not angry at the world.
I'm just angry at one thing in particular, a number
So even when I drift into a fitful slumber,
I'll be reminded of a number.
A grade in my current English class is the major thing that holds me back, the last chain keeping me trapped.
A stupid number could keep from moving away
A stupid number brings back all past doubts
A stupid number caused by words being incorrect in the eyes of another.
So now I'm just angry,
Not angry at my family,
Not angry at my friends,
But maybe a little angry myself,
But angry at a stupid number.
A stupid number, the last chain
is the one that brings me pain.
So now I just have a ever burning rage,
at a stupid number,
that keeps me from ripping out each page
that holds a word,
or a number,
that is in English
in my last English class.
