Imprisoned

by Brittney Follett   Nov 6, 2007


Why does vengeance reek on your breath?
How it tarnishes your "shining armor"
Your gaze has entranced my mangled spirit

Counting the seconds as we die in silence
Anger radiates from the intensity of your stare
Nothing but pain soars forth from my heart
Tears caress my soft, cold, pale face

I quiver at your hard, rough touch... no.

Banish me from your sight; let me go
Enough of your games, release me

Freedom tempts me from the outside
Remember the words that escaped my lips
Examining the mirror in front of myself
Even my thoughts have betrayed me

    I definately think we all get this way at times, that feeling of being trapped and alone. Even when we're around people it doesn't seem like any of it is real. Excellent thoughts on this piece 5/5 GG23

    What I like most about this is that there's nothing predictable about it. There's no rhyme, no blatantly obvious structure, no mindless vocabulary...
    Brilliant~

    I didn't really understood what you tried to describe in this poem, so I'll relate to the structure. Overall there weren't any rhymes, the flow went on good and the stanzas are aligned nicely. 4/5
