Finding Me

by Eric T Jones   Nov 8, 2014


Inside of this maze I chased
and I chased. I put you on a
pedestal and pushed you into
first place...
It was an honest mistake and
I really don't regret it, but the
hardest part was the fact that
you didn't respect it...
I gave and I gave, like a mother
to a child. For the beauty to me
was wrapped inside your smile.
So please forgive me...
I guess I adorned you just a little
too much. I was thirsting for your
attention and hoping for just a touch.
But truthfully, through it all...
I found something even better. I found
me.

    I thought this poem had a great flow and pacing: It kept me interested and was well penned. The rhyme wasn't forced and I liked the tone. However, for me the last 2 lines weren't the best: 'I found me' seems cliché and was a disappointing note to leave the poem on. Overall though a good effort and keep it up!
