Once in a While

by dollwithafrown   Apr 30, 2007


My past is not a piece of treasure
Of which I am too fond
It's broken me down to someone
Who barely utters any response

Many encounters took place
Of which my mind is hazy
Yet no one listens when I try to explain
Instead this girl is just "crazy"

So the only way I get noticed
Is to act outside of my bounds
I scream, I shout, do anything at all
Just so somebody will hear my sound

Every once in a while
I go a little bit mad
Become some sort of a rebel
Like to be known as "bad"

But I'm really not that awful
I'm really not that severe
I just want people to listen to me
To help me stop my falling tears

Just turn around and notice
That here I'm standing still
You'll help me out, oh so much
Believe me, you will

So every once in a while
Just listen to my plight
Cheer me up, dry my eyes
So the tears can stop at night

    Yet another master piece!!!

    Note: "So every one in a while"
    Is "one" supposed to be "once"?

    This one was great, the flow was awsome and the feelings were strong throughout the whole thing. Nice wording with nice discription. Well done~Mel

    I really liked this. A lot of people feel this way, especially when they shouldn't, eh.
    You did a great job with this poem, once again the flow and rhyming are great. The feelings portrayed become noticed through-out it, and it's quite descriptive, I can imagine the person screaming and such.

    Keep it up, hun.

    Wow.
    You have no idea how much I can relate to this one. Sometimes all you want is for someone to save you, when you can't save yourself......
    A wonderful piece of poetry, that I'm sure many as well as me can relate to.
    Fantastic write! 5.5
