Being somebody who really is andvanced in math, and really hates the subject, I was... touched in a way, I guess. I always say to myself, in the midst of the grueling hours of my homework, why the hell, WHO the hell wants to know the value of X.

So I've already told you that I loved this, Writer, but I figured I'd come and drop a review for you just to make it public! I swear that you've captured the essence of all teenage angst in one focal point--and in a good channel!

Also, I've always thought of math as a sort of religious experience; after all, x is unto all things as far as the east is from the west, forever and ever amen, am I right? :P

My only suggestion is that you maybe not use so much blood imagery all at once for such a teenie tiny poem! I mean, don't get me wrong--blood imagery is the bomb, but just not in one mighty gush!

Also, please, for the love of God, continue writing. :)

Hello there

I really love this. I to know what it's like not to be a massive fan of mathematics, so this is definitely relatable.

I love poems that make everyday issues bigger and more dramatic. However I love how your tongue is in cheek the whole time. In conclusion, really lovely.
I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see.

You just spoke to me! That is how I feel about that damned subject. I also like how your poem was short, sweet and to the point.

Sorry people, I've never had this many comments, so I didn't know they continued onto page 2. Haha, that just means I won't answer everyone individually, but thanks a million y'all! :)

I thought you were going to write about how much you love math - I am very glad to see that this is actually the complete opposite. :P

I also held off on reading this because I was under the impression it was some crazy 'I love math' poem. Which i have no problem with it just wouldn't have been my cup of tea. :) Anyways bravo and thank you for this it made me laugh!

Phew. When I saw the title of this poem I thought it would be an actual ode to maths. But I read it anyway because I was curious and bored, and I'm glad I did. I love this poem! My maths teacher's been throwing trigonometry at us lately, even though we're not supposed to even know what it is until next year, so I can really relate to this. If there was a 'love' button, I would click it :D

For one, what really annoyed me was that there was no capital letter at the start of the sentence. It really got me angry for some reason. Sorry, that's the way I am.
Anyway, I enjoyed it. It's not something I would read but for some reason it caught my attention. I also disliked the way it's so short. You could add something onto it to make it longer. Just a suggestion.

Do you like Math? Well, I love it! And I will do everything to protect its rights. All I can comment to your poem about Math is... I love it! Yes, there are times when someone will, like, hate math and destroy it or something, I get that to sometimes as well as SO MANY people! So, I give you a thumbs up for your dare of showing the world the harshness of Mathematics!

*facepalm*

this piece is so true...Haha. When you get stuck, you feel like slamming the book closed and ignoring it. Calc and Algebra both suck :/ they remind me of Chinese water torture. It's not bad at first but as the hours drag on you begin to think you're going crazy >.<

Anyway, good poem ^_^
