In 2008 I did a creative writing class for people with mental illnesses (I have schizo-affective disorder) Here is the short (true) story I wrote:
I also wrote a lot of poems - here is one:
Starting school,
I stole a Lego ladder.
A year or two later,
I stole a Lego man’s hairpiece.
From an acquaintance,
I stole two Lego pipes.
From a friend,
I stole a Transformer,
But got caught.
Another time, from that friend,
I stole some coloured paper clips,
But got caught.
At school,
I stole four Lego gears,
With the encouragement of a friend.
I treasure my stolen toys.
There was a launch of the combined book and other books such as my short story and there I read aloud that poem and people were quite amused.
I hate to step on lego
They make my leg go
Fuck, that hurt!
That’s clever - you said “leg go”.
When I was 11, I was at home “babysitting” my 9-year-old sister. In the way only young kids can be, I was a bit of a shitlord. She asked me if I could make her a bologna sandwich. I made her eat a rolled-up piece of bologna with mustard inside it, instead. Then I felt really bad and made her a sandwich anyway.
Boy, it felt good to get that off my chest!
Has anyone here ever stolen something? (sorry to take so long to ask that)
Dude, your poetry is actually interesting.
