Motivational BS

by Thomas   Jul 29, 2012


All are talking
about releasing
the beast inside
Like they harness
an enormous wealth
of untapped potential

But tell me what happens
when your beast inside
was put down with poison
injected by life itself

Either my beast is dead
or has escaped a long time ago
Since I have nothing inside
that is yanking the chain
or growling behind these inner bars

At my peak I am already
Just like my life
I wont be any better
this year or the year after

So quit the motivational BS
And leave me alone
Sitting behind my glaring computer screen
in the darkest corner
of my home

    I think you have the potential to be a great poet. You have the essential elements. The word choices are well sought out and it shows in the poem.
    I didn't like the ending and wish it were more hopeful. But I don't have to like the ending for it to be a well written and well received poem. However I would edit the last 2 paragraphs, the flow seems a little stunted. Otherwise, it is nicely done. Hang in there you have more that needs tapping into, most times you cannot force it.

    Again I loved this one because it can be taken in both versions of a conversation with yourself or just at society in general.

    It is so hard to feel motivated and listen to people who try to force you into happiness. You cannot just feel something and do something when your heart does not agree.

    Good write, although it is sad you feel this way. x

    Never give up on yourself. People are
    loaded with bs, you need to seperate
    yourself from it. Nobody wants to be alone
    but if that what it takes so be it.
    You are a wonderful person.
