Memories that make you die inside.

Sup

Try as I might but I always fail,

in forgetting this tale I come to no avail,

the incident in question occurred 10 years ago,

i was attending school and my IQ was low,

making my way to the main yard after leaving the canteen,

little did I know, someone had planned something mean,

 

I sat with my buddies, a pupil came over and offered us a fizzy drink,

the ones in the canteen were too expensive, so I said yes and didn’t think,

the guy was passive aggressive he told me “Jake, you can drink that!”,

i took the can not knowing I would regret it, soon thinking “You absolute t...!”,

I quenched my first with a big gulp, causing everyone to point and laugh,

even my friends joined in, one of them took a photograph,

 

The cackles helped me instantly realise exactly what had happened,

this moment was far worse than any anxiety dream I had imagined, 

someone played a prank by spitting a greeny inside a can on coke,

the humiliation combined with anger and disgust caused me to sweat heavily, freeze up and choke.

    Sup, what that pupil did to you was absolutely awful. I'm surprised you were able to get through it.

    You've expressed the scene so beautifully with words. I liked this poem. 🙂

    I deleted my post on the other poem, since I misunderstood your point.
