Screw this and screw that.
My head a volcano,
Pounding in my heart.
I feel my anger rising,
That cannot stop in time.
F this and F that.
I’m a bomb that’s just set off.
The people who surround me,
Get hit from falling blasts.
I scream into the valleys,
That echo through the cliffs.
This world right now is too much,
I cannot bear the suffering.
I want to say this now,
’Cos I cannot stand,
The way they hide,
Behind their screens,
To spew their hate.
It’s like they can say anything,
And not get caught again.
A right they have,
To abuse,
The differences they can see.
I am angered,
By them all,
For all they want is chaos.
I find it hard,
To shut my mouth,
And let them spew this hate.
Screw this and screw them,
They need to stop right now.
Another half a decade,
And we will lose ourselves.
I vent with a passion,
Then I hear me cry,
F this world,
That we all live,
I curse them all to hell.

In my head with this one.
This poem really captures intense anger. It makes me think about how easy it is to hide behind screens and say hurtful things. I've seen it happen, where people feel brave enough to be mean online. It's so frustrating. We need to find a way to stop this kind of hate. How can we encourage people to think before they type? Maybe we should start having more real conversations, face to face, to break down those walls of anonymity. What do you think?
