Things we hate
Alexa Lanzilotta & Amit Perez Always texting first Baby boomers who ignore climate change Calls from my ex Drunk drivers Eating faster than others at the table Freshmen who sprint to class Getting left on read Homophobia Initiating awkward conversations James Charles Kissing boys who don’t deserve my time Long flights MEN. Not getting closure Overdramatic fights with mom Petty drama Quizzes that I didn’t study for Random guys in my DMs Sibling arguments Teachers who call on me when I’m not raising my hand Unsolicited advice Vsco girls When Wendy’s is out of spicy nuggets Xenophobia YouTube ads Zeros in math equations Addendum: This A-Z poem was initially inspired by us reflecting on our bad days together during class. We both found a sense of closure in spewing out all of our negativity and decided the next step was to write about the many things that piss us off daily. We were first hesitant in even writing this because we thought that writing about the annoying things in life would only irritate us more, however we eventually came to the conclusion that speaking about what angers us would help us blow off steam, which was very necessary. |
