Yesterday in English, we read a poem written about 20 years ago by a student who wrote it to reflect on the emotional problems he was experiencing at the time. My teacher said that after she read it (which was very well-written), she talked to him after class about it and asked if he was alright. In the few days before, my class had been instructed to write three poems on any topic. Of course one of mine dealt with my anxiety and sadness, the whole bit. I figured it couldn't hurt to let her see it. My other two pieces were pretty good, and after reading them aloud in our writing groups, another student told her to read mine, impressed by my work. I gave her the sad one to look at. After reading it, she hands it back to me and exclaims "oh, how cute!"...

Ummm......what?
