Something Ugly
Show me something raw and honest. Gut wrenching and sick. Heavy and drenched in emotion. The poem that packs the most punch wins.
uForgetUrself in Poetry & Free Verse

I want to punch

I want to punch the wall

I don’t know why

I don’t know when or how

any wall has offended me so.

All I know?

I want to punch the wall

A wall is not pushed

A wall is not soft

A wall does not budge

A wall stands

It doesn’t matter that people are lying

It doesn’t matter that people are crying

It doesn’t matter what anyone tries to say

Because it’s a wall.

So it stands there all day

Last time I punched the wall

It didn't learn its lesson.

And I hurt for two months and a half

But I'd do it again

It doesn't matter that people are trying

It's a wall

A wall is not pushed

A wall does not care

It's a wall.

So it stands there all day
