Stupid, Stupid Self (Double Etheree)

by Chelsey   Feb 19, 2013


Dumb.
Stupid.
You really
have no control
over your life girl.
Foaming at the mouth with
words that are twisted; backwards.
"I won't do that again. I'm done."
Til you meet him, the new guy you swear
is different. The one who will complete you.

How many has there been now? Are you done
falling for all these walking heart breaks?
Your so quick to say no one gets
a chance without meeting your
highest expectations.
Then you fall face first.
Yet again girl.
Don't be so
stupid.
Dumb.

    Nice presentation. I'm not familiar with etherees, so I'll take Andrea's word for it. It looks like a slop that has come full circle, if that makes any sense. I like the repeated words; I think think repeated words and phrases shows the reader what state of mind the speaker is in, and in this case, I think the speaker is has used these words too many times in her life. I really like your wordplay.

    "Foaming at the mouth with
    words that are twisted; backwards."

    These are my favorite lines. The imagery makes me think that the speaker's sanity is waning, if she has any left, and it really adds to the moral of this poem.

    It's awful to get caught in the cycle of a bad relationship or repeated picking the wrong partner. I've seen many people do it, and it never ends well. Good read, Chelsey :)

    Oh I love this, I feel like your talking to me here, Lol. Though I know you're own thoughts are evident.
    It's a really powerfully simple poem, and I love this form, you pen it so well.

    Ok- On a technical note, you ROCKED this double etheree! Very flowy and eye catching! Now- on an emotional note, I have felt these same emotions more than I care to count... very touching piece, to be able to pour your emotions within a formed piece... wonderful!
