Poetry class? This class is a fucking joke-- can they fail you for a poem's subject matter? I got a fucking assignment back with an automatic failure. No notes, no corrections. Teacher wanted me to see her after class.

Apparently she didn't like the fact that I uh.
DON'T FUCKING CENSOR MYSELF.

the poem in question. )

People are always critical of what they don't understand or what scares them. That, and the teachers have to worry about their jobs. It wouldn't make them look good to let go of the position of authority they have over us, right? So they censor us in whatever ways they can. From uniforms to dictating how it is we should write and what it is we are allowed to write about.

It's shitty, but there's not much we can do about it. They expect us to conform, and while for the most part we're required to, at least once school is over and done with, we can say whatever vulgar crap we want in professions of free speach such as writing, and we'll have only ourselves to answer to because no one will need to buy shit if they don't like it anyways.

Sorry that they failed you. It's a shame. Poetry is all about the freedom of expression. If you put limitations on that it ruins the whole concept... che.
