The Core Of My Being

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   Oct 11, 2011


Abnormal is what you call me
You say I differ from the norm
You turn your back you're cold
But once you were so warm

Abnormal is what you call me
You are quick to criticise my mind
You are sick and nasty
But once you were so kind

Abnormal is what you call me
You play me out like a game
You use to say we were two of a kind
Now you say we are not the same

Abnormal is what you call me
You want us to go our separate ways
And you can't make it crystal clear
You're willing to leave me in a haze

You want to leave me blinded
To be confused inside my soul
You want to rob me of my core
And all that makes me whole

    A rhyming scheme. Must agree with everyone, it is a wonderful piece. Simple but delightful, and the repetition is integrated very well. Once again the flow is exceptional.

    Bella,
    What a wonderful poem,
    Heartbreaking though!

    The flow of the poem is natural

    You want to leave me blinded
    To be confused inside my soul
    You want to rob me of my core
    And all that makes me whole
    ^^^^

    I love the last part - rob me of my core - so vivid!

    I really enjoyed reading this poem, not only because of it flowing so smoothly, but also because of the message your words convey. I really like the repetition of the first line because it gives this poem even more structure and I like that it changed in the last stanza because with the last stanza the whole tone of the poem changed. Well done!
