C. K. Young Poems

Why you raped my best friend I don't know
Just for her looks? Are you really that shallow?
But what you don't know is that I'll hunt you down
I'll torture you and in your own blood you'll drown...
...

'First the worst'
They say...
'Second the best'
So cliche...
...

The reason I don't smile
Is not what it may seem
And its not because
My teeth don't gleam...
...

Just who am I?
I'm nothing to you
Just the thought alone
Makes my heart go blue
...

Down the barrel, down the scope
For you, there is no hope
Your death will be quick
One finger-pull should do the trick
...

Whenever I'm near you
I cannot speak
For on the inside I feel very weak...
So I hide myself behind an invisible wall
...

A man came up and insulted my race
Insults my culture right in my face
I became angered, and with no disregard
I clench my fist and strike him real hard
...

I held the knife close
Ready to die...
I did not fear
All I did was cry...
...

Alone
Like a grain of sand...
As I gaze down
At my bloody, empty hands...
...

There is a darker side of me you'll never know
On the outside it rarely does show...
If I gave it a second thought I'd rather not tell you
Because you'd forever regret it if you knew...
...
