My friend always always always contradicts me on everything.
And it really bothers me cause I really don't like to be told that I'm wrong. Especially if it's a matter of opinion. And they feel like their opinion is the only right one. And shove it in my face all the time. As if it would change my opinion.
And when I ever mention that it bothers me it goes nowhere.
I feel like they're trying to change me but they can't.

~Taken from one of the greatest novels ever written,
Perks of Being A Wallflower~

Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Chops"
because that was the name of his dog
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts
That was the year Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
And he let them sing on the bus
And his little sister was born
with tiny toenails and no hair
And his mother and father kissed a lot
And the girl around the corner sent him a
Valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
And his father always tucked him in bed at night
And was always there to do it

Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Autumn"
because that was the name of the season
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of its new paint
And the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
And left butts on the pews
And sometimes they would burn holes
That was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
And the girl around the corner laughed
when he asked her to go see Santa Claus
And the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed a lot
And his father never tucked him in bed at night
And his father got mad
when he cried for him to do it.

Once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Innocence: A Question"
because that was the question about his girl
And that's what it was all about
And his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because he never showed her
That was the year that Father Tracy died
And he forgot how the end
of the Apostle's Creed went
And he caught his sister
making out on the back porch
And his mother and father never kissed
or even talked
And the girl around the corner
wore too much makeup
That made him cough when he kissed her
but he kissed her anyway
because that was the thing to do
And at three a.m. he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring soundly

That's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
Because that's what it was really all about
And he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
And he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didn't think
he could reach the kitchen.

:iconsmiletheskyisfalling:
that's not my intention would you like me to cite where it's from? I assumed people would know it's not my work
:iconbrokenheartsbleeding:
It's an obscure poem.

Not many people know it.

Citation is always good, would you be happy if someone had a poem yours posted somewhere, without telling who it was by?

Just saying, not meaning to offend.

It's personally, my all time favorite poem written by anyone, not just manic depressives. I myself have recently been diagnosed with pure mania, which is more of a sustained form of depression with no relieve, causing to go blocks, 30, 40, 60, hours without sleep.

Thank you for the watch, by the way.

You're very welcome. I love your poetry.
My friend was just diagnosed with really bad depression. He's going through some hard times. Sorry about that.
And yes this poem is probably my favorite in this style. Citation slipped my mind at the time. :)
:iconbrokenheartsbleeding:
Ah, well, no harm done.

Thank you.:rose:

It's funny how so many poet are suicidal or depressed.

A trait of them I guess.
