Insanity -- Driven by Society

by BrokenREALiTy   Aug 21, 2007


Promise the forbidden,
Dip your heart in honey; let it harden.
Kiss my wounds; forbid them cure,
Then run away delighted.
> Taste the fear; let it linger,
Lick my blood right off your finger.
(Savor it.)

Chained identity to an anchor,
Deprive yourself a proper drowning.
Fall the petals of a broken rose;
> To your lips they've been exposed.
Once pure, now stained by you,
Give me slavery; the same as freedom.
(Do you feel it?)

Want what isn't; wish for a falsity,
Loathe happiness, love despair,
> Embrace reality.
Cry when the sun is out; smile as the rain pours,
Burn every joyful memory;
And memorize what isn't anymore.
(See it.)

Gaze into the hall of shattered mirrors,
> Which disfigured image of you is real?
Battered, balled up - scrunched in a corner,
Life scratched upon your face:
How does it feel?
(I've already lost myself.)
SO WHY NOT YOU?

    Great poem.Very unique and creative.I agree that it can mean different things to different people,which just makes it one of the best.Usually you see poems based on one topic and if you havent experianced it,then you can't enjoy the poem to it's fullest extent.
    Great job,5/5,
    Keep writing,

    This was just amazing! I found myself agreeing with every line you told. I'm in my senior year of high school and I could truly relate to everything you described. The style you choose was fresh and interesting and I honestly found myself compelled to continue reading.

    My fave stanza had to be without a doubt
    Want what isn't; wish for a falsity,
    Loathe happiness, love despair,
    > Embrace reality.
    Cry when the sun is out; smile as the rain pours,
    Burn every joyful memory;
    And memorize what isn't anymore.
    (See it.)

    The smiling when the rain pours was brilliant.

    well done *5/5*

    Even though it did not make full sence to me I'm still glad I read it because it was just one of those poems that didn't have to be totally clear to understand you know

    I love how it's kind of an abstract poem, so really it could mean a number of things to a number of different people.
    But I read your explanation and it's just really inspiring that you took something like that a created a beautiful poem.
    You're writing is just amazing. There is so much emotion and depth put into it.
    I definitely don't believe you're fourteen lol.
    Never quit, this is for sure your calling.
    5/5.
