Just Another Disapointment

by MemoirsOfMe   Mar 25, 2007


You're revolting words
Thrown at my face.
You're disgusted eyes
At my very state.

I'm a disappointment to you
Because you realize who I really am.
Am I that much of a shock,
Am I really worse than them?

Tell me why it's such disbelief,
Why it's such a headline
Just because it was I
Who drank the devil's wine.

I can't always have that halo
Hovering ever so perfectly above my head.
I wore it yesterday as an obligation
And ended up throwing it away instead.

Who would know the light
If they had never been in the dark?
Don't give me that dissatisfaction
In your all too worried remarks.

Because I'm tired of being a let down,
I don't want to be sheltered anymore.
I don't want you to pretend you care
When you never had before.

You're pretended act,
I expel in revolt.
You're iron manacle
I dispose with a jolt.

    Overall, pretty good. In this one the rhyme scheme felt a little forced and once again there was something a little off about the sentence structure. Keep writing!

    Wow, very very deep. I like your flow, and style. My favorite part was " I can't always have that halo
    Hovering ever so perfectly above my head.
    I wore it yesterday as an obligation
    And ended up throwing it away instead."
    You make some great points here.
    Especially when you said "Who would know the light
    If they had never been in the dark?"
    The only thing i didnt like was how you ended it. It just stopped rather then ended. Ya know? lol its one of those poems you dont want to end. Its great keep it up. P.S. thanks for the comment.
