kid at the back of the class by Bogdan Dragos

he’s the one sitting
in the back of the class

wondering what it
would be like to
have the power to cause
someone to instantly
burst into flames

it makes him happy
for a while

It’s a way to channel the
inner rage

meanwhile his
grades are suffering
and the situation at home
isn’t better

but he’s past the point of
caring about any
of those

The meaning of life is to
exist as little
as possible in what the others
call reality
and get lost as much as
possible in one’s self

He’s good at it
so
for all we know
he’s living the life
of his dreams

Probably gonna start writing
in a few years

His kind usually does
