Creative Writing: I Want To Be Like Mommy When I Grow Up
 

When I was in high school, I had to write a poem from a child's perspective. My creative writing teacher thought the poem was great, but also quite disturbing.

I Want To Be Like Mommy When I Grow Up

I want to be like mommy when I grow up,
as men come and go out of my life.
I want the headache of divorce papers
and bold signatures and settlements.

I want to cook a big meal and feel
unappreciated when my lover comes
home with McDonald's (supersize of
course) while we watch a Blockbuster video.

I want giant hands around my neck
as I scream for mercy from God. Mommy
and Daddy are always playing. Look at mommy
scream. She is screaming. Yayyyy scream
mommy!!!!

I want to be like mommy when I grow up,
from housewife to battered woman. I want
to sell my body like she did so proudly.
That?s my mommy there getting in the car.

Go mommy. Look at mommy get money.

I want to smoke crack up my nose
as blood spills out from time to time. I want
to wear those pretty handcuffs and ride in those
long siren cars that go Whoooorrrl Whoooooorrrl.

Look at mommy cry. Mommy is so funny.

Guess what. Come a little closer. I want to be like mommy
when I grow up as she lays in the coffin with all these people
crying. Mommy is a star. Fat people are falling on her body
and people singin? so loud that I can?t hear mommy say nothin.?

Look at mommy stay still. She been staying still for awhile now.
My mommy is so funny.

riiiight

I'm slamming tupac so loud

That shit just seems gayer than usual

MY OWN MAMA SAY IM THUUGGGED OUT
MY SHIT BE POPPIN OUT THE RECORD STORE AS IF IT WAS A DRUG HOUSE

WEBMASTERS CANT C ME

MONEY AND WEED
ALAZAE AND HENASSEY

That's fucking wicked, especially for a high school student. Well done. :thumbsup

I read a lot of the stuff I wrote as a depressed teenager and just think wtf, where was my head at?

"I want to smoke crack up my nose"

That's terrible for high school, not knowing how to correctly use crack

It's definately depressed teenager shit, but my stuff was more intense and twisted when I went to cathlioc school in 6th grade...

Same here man. :1orglaugh

where'd you get that?
