Speak to me in Metaphors

by KeyxMashingxParody   Apr 13, 2007


Kill me with silence,
Bury me with a sentence.
Get me out of jail,
Save me from remembrance.

Speak to me in metaphors,
Call my name now.
Never touch me again,
For I do not know how.

Tell me I'm worth nothing,
Put me on the throne.
Write a book about me,
Make sure I am unknown.

Tell the world my name,
My history in books.
Say I'm horrendous to look at,
Tell me I have good looks.

Give me a piece of paper,
I'll write you a song.
You want it short and sassy?
I'll make it depressing and long.

Kill me with silence,
Bury me with a sentence.
Get me out of jail,
Save me from remembrance.

    Wow this was even better than the first one I read.. I loved how you titled it what you did and then did exactally that. You spoke to the reader in metaphores. Amazing work, not very many people are very good at using these and making them stick so to create an entire poem of them was a very bold move. But you pulled it off flawlessly.
