Three messed up teens, three messed up stories, but in one fabulous book. I always loved the books that Ellen Hopkins wrote Impulse included. She usually writes books that are about 600 pages long, but in poems so to describe my book I will write three separate poems for each of my characters.
TONY
Confused
He doesn't know if he's gay
Doesn't know if he has ever been loved
Doesn't know who to trust
Hes confused, and falling
He's taking the H train
To hell
Hidden
Tony, has hidden his story
with lies
he has never opened up
or told a soul
about his past
except for Phillip
but Phillip is dead now.
CONNER
Dirty
He played a dirty game with Emily
He played a dirty game with his mom
He even played a dirty game with Dr.B
Will he ever learn?
I guess not.
Love
He never loved, he only had lust
What he had with Emily was not love
it was lust
What he did love was the excitement
of being bad.
VANESSA
She cut her self so, so many times
until she bled. She watched the blood
ooze out of her arm. She could have died
if her brother didn't barge in. Imagine
an eight year old boy, seeing his
older sister cut
her self to death.
She is selfish
scaring her bro.
She had a good
life, she could
have had a good
life. But with a
crazy mother and Hitler for
a father, there was no way she
could have survived, and she almost didn't.
What she doesn't realize, is there are people
who do love her, and care for her, but
she hasn't realized that yet, and
maybe she will, soon. Tony
