The Thoughts Inside


Have you ever wondered if your words helped? Or maybe if they actually hurt? Sometimes you may not be sure. As a teacher, I understand your authority level but sometimes I just want to get a hammer and lower you to another level because you act just like the Devil. You may think the words your saying are helping but, oh my, your oh so wrong! The words of hate you speak are just so strong. I can't bear; I wouldn't dare say such things. I sometimes wondered would I be wrong if I spoke back? Oh so how badly I would love to speak back. But I shall not speak back. I don't wish to be at your level. Just wait, you'll see, someone will come save me. Then you won't, you can't use words of hate. One day I'll get saved from the hatred you spread. Until that day I'll lay low, very low. I'll stay silent, like a mouse, like a house or just even like the ones who rest easy six feet under, yes the dead. Then, yes then I’ll be free and you can no longer make me have these thoughts in my head.
