Once again I choose turn

by CourtneyLouxxx   Dec 5, 2005


I promised myself I never again would fall
You must think me weak, because I can't stand tall
I have decided to the blade I trust most to turn
That now its sick comfort do I yearn

When it comes grazing past my skin
I let out a little vindictive grin
It slashes past and enters deep
But the little grin I keep

I hide the cut under a band-aid or two
Hoping to shield this return away from you
Cursing inside each time it I do touch
Wondering if this is way too much

A tear falls from my eye and I start to cry
I think of how tough I have been
I've managed not to give into temptation
But once again I choose to turn!

    Hey, I noticed that this one wasn't commented on but they didn't give you such a nicevoting on it, whereas I really like it, so I'll raise the number a bit ;). Anyway, I think the reason other ppl may not like it(and I don't mean to be cruel, I just though I'd help you out, because it realy is a good poem and you could be getting better votes than that.) is, well for starters the first line, doesn't quite make sense.

    It's basically saying that you promised yourself to be tough, someone else thought you were weak 'but' ur not strong... lol which means they were right, so you may want to use ''because' I can't stand tall'.. I hope you know what I mean, and if it is just me making a wrong interpretation than I am sorry... And I know it's really hard to keep up the rhyming, but you did such an awesome job with it to begin with, it's just the last verse that stops.. Anyway, that's my two cents, other than that I loved it and will be reading some more of ur work when I have time, Keep it up! :)
