I am fourteen
and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his tumb
in secret
how come my knees are
always so ashy
what if I die
before the morning comes
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
I have to learn how to dance
in time for the next party
my room is too small for me
suppose I de before graduation
they will sing sad melodies
but finally
tell the truth aout me
There is nothing I want to do
and too much
that has to be done
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
Nobody even stops to think
about my side of it
I should have been on Math Team
my marks were better than his
why do I have to be
the one
wearing braces
I have nothing to wear tomorrow
will I live long enough
to grow up
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
no joke i thought this poem was about conjoined twins and how one of them was struggling. im probably wrong though.
I think this poem is about a white angalo saxon male who is struggling with his tatoo dilema (mamma wont come out of her bedroom because she is addicted to online gambling) and has trouble dancing at school.
I thought this poem explained a lot because it shows how this girl or narrator is suffering through so much, and her mom or whoever is a authority figure is not there to help them with it or explain things. As I was reading this poem it felt that everything was jumbled because of the lack of punctuation, but it also adds to the poem because it shows how jumbled the narrators life or mind is.
this poem i think talks about a boy whos mother isn’t there for him and that he talks about his suicide a “going to a dance ” and ” getting dressed up”. He is almost preparing for death and makes it so casual
This poem is very informative and when it says and “momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed”
that means that her mom’s dead and her the bedroom is her coffin and her door is the lid.
I like your poem it tells alot being diffrent
Funny
I’m a very understanding person and i see where you comin from in this poem. Seems like you didnt have anywhere to turn and you thought your life was goin to end soon then you thought. Well i hope nobody’s feeling the way this poem is.
good peom but i dont get y u kept sayin my mom is in the room with the door shut like it dowkeep it up
Its kind of complex at first but then, I read it 3 times and then I kind of understood it.
I like this poem. what im felling is that the author is feeling low and he or she feels as if they are poor and worthless. This poem has the poetry terms assonance and imagery in it which helped me invision the author going through those types of problems
i though it was a good poem it makes you think of ur own life of what you all have an what this child all has. It sounds like he dont have alot because what he all say
Then poem was okay :]
This poem was okay :]

This poem displays the internal conflict a young woman is having when she he realizing her sexuality. She feels that she is a victim of injustice and that she is misrepresented as a woman because she has no role model or guidance on any level so she has no idea what to expect in any case. She tries to seek comfort from naive sources but finally realizes the injustices and begins to semi understand herself.
