Life vs I

by AnnMarie   Apr 20, 2006


The dinger rings
we start to fight,
it is life and I
I know I'm right.

One blow,
then another,
all I want to know
are the answers

Why give me love
with a sprinkle of pain?
Why the push and shove,
to feel a little tug?

Why ignore the cries
of a broken child,
and judge the lies
of a helpless liar?

Life looked me in the eye
and gave me one last jab.
Life did not lie when saying
''that's life''.

    I liked the last stanza of this poem, but the rest didn't really interest me. It was a bit boring and didn't flow very well, you had a good idea and this poem does have potential, but i dont think it was the best one you've written.

    Great topic. Your poem started out kinda weak, then when it reached the 3rd stanza, it became very interesting.
