Trapped Within The Alphabet

by Unforgiven Retniap doolb   Mar 16, 2006


I am an invisible word search,
a cross word puzzle gone wrong,
a randomly organized dictionary,
the missing lyrics song.

Sometimes it feel I am trapped,
within "A" through "Z",
unable to determine a word,
One to let you see.

I am unsuccessful at writing a poem,
one to make you feel as I do,
I try to put in my heart and soul,
but with these words I can't get through.

Anger and Love run in my veins,
So many emotions fill my mind,
Yet I can't get it out on paper,
And the perfect word I can't find.

I am not a poet,
I think inside the box,
I have no imagination,
I am a shut door with a thousand locks.

*Just screaming to get through*

    That was really deep, and good... I liked the analogy of the alphabet, and being trapped inside your own words... But a least that's what I'm getting from it. I give it a 5/5

    Wow, Hun. This definitely expressed a LOT of emotion, and it was great. But I don`t think you`re any of those things. I think you`re you, a great writer. =D
    Maybe I`m a little lost at this whole theme because I read the two poems backward. But, that`s alright. =D I still get it.
    Great job! 5/5

    This Poem Really Got Me Thinking. You Weren't Writing With Metaphors Or Similes, But Still Were Indirectly Making Your Point In Some Way. Beautifully Written.
