What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

Regression

I don't understand.
It's not like we're strangers;
Mutual existence has been noted.
Multiple times.
On a daily basis.
For years.
But now tiny hopes are crushed
As we both pretend that that split second of eye contact
Never happened.
And you look somewhere, anywhere -
So long as it's not at me...

Do you enjoy to fraternize with ignorance?
Because I don't.
But I'm forced to because of you.
Because no one likes to be rejected,
To be purposely cast away
As just another face in the crowd.
Is that all I am to you now?
Please tell me no.
We know too much to reach that stage.
Or so I hope.

    Yours is definitely... different in structure. I like this piece, although I think it really isn't all that similar to the other; this one is dominated by sorrow and confusion rather than anger. I really enjoyed the last stanza

    sadness...

    ... the short lines convey the sense of pleading, or, as Chris said, "sorrow and confusion"

    Reminds me of the song "Ignorance" by Paramore :D The structure was very effective in emphasizing the theme...I like it :)
