The Day I Decided to Punch a Wall

By Ava Angelucci


Today I decided to punch a wall.


I thought it’d be better than screaming words I could not take back.

Maybe it was the way she mimicked me, using her voice as an attack;


That led me to punching a wall.


As soon as it happened I ran away,

Through the isles of chips and the treats on display.

Next to the Oreos I did not have the money to buy, decorations for July.

Every person in the world seemed to be in that store at that minute suffocating me!

Clenching my fists to hold inside the fire that lies.

All, everything had been building up that week;

The day I decided to punch a wall.


Each week seemed to get worse,

Slowly I was drowning in frustrations.

Everything going wrong for me, but I couldn’t scream, couldn’t curse.

I bit my lips and roll my eyes,

Everything around was there for me to despise.

My dad’s presence drove me to cry;

The day I decided to punch a wall.


It’s so loud, everything’s surrounding me in silence,

Getting a bad grade on an assignment,

Losing all those close to me,

Moving away, out of the nest they’re forced to flee.

I can’t drive, I live on a busy road,

So to its paste I gave a nasty blow.

What surprised me was there was left no hole;

The day I decided to punch a wall.


“Ice cold shower, screaming into a pillow, writing down the things that are making you upset” always helped me

I thought I’d try it if I had the time.

I’m always in a pissed off mood, not like the girl of glee.

Soon people will find my taste like that of a sour lime.

But they don’t see the purple coating my skin

The walls of blood breaking within

My first enwrapping, my own inner heat,

The never ending days where I feel beat,

Where nothing wants to end well for me.

The days I decide to punch my wall.
