High School Poetry Bleme!

[dvandom]

I've decided to try starting a bleme. :) The rules are simple: when you see an LJ entry with this bleme, post a piece of your high school poetry in your LJ. preferably one that fairly screams high school poetry. A poem that might as well be wearing horn-rimmed glasses and smoking a clove cigarette.

Here's mine, written when I was 15:

I live in a prison of the mind,
I try to escape, but fail.
The warden is anything but kind,
I am the warden of my jail.

Never wrote poetry, even in high school. Or if I did, I've successfully repressed the hideous shame of the memory. Just never had the knack for making words work in that particular way.
