One in a million

by Sadia   Jan 12, 2008


I always had a passion for flashing.
i cannot be compared,
my knowledge cannot be shared,
I'm one of a million.
sometimes i get confused,
why do we get accused, when we the ones that got abused,

Dying inside smiling outside.
I keep hearing these voices, where do they come from? from my mind, what have i become.
I only got one life to live, struggling to survive,
in a world filled with agony - am i able to forgive ?

Nightmares of people screaming -
living in bad conditions ain't nobody dreaming.
will it ever change, will my feelings faint .
Living in a life, so cold and bold -Living in a world, like a whole - everything can be soled.

slowly I've become everything I've been fighting.
Slowly I've become shameless.
Slowly I've become - one of them !

    This is a very interesting poem indeed. The very title is captivating as not everyone or everything is "One in a million."

    "why do we get accused, when we the ones that got abused"

    This line grasps the reader because it is one of truth telling. In this world we live it is often the victims who continue to suffer long after the crime has been committed. Very well written. Food for thought.

    "I only got one life to live, struggling to survive,
    in a world filled with agony - am i able to forgive ? "

    This stanza in your poem is extremely heart-felt and thus keep the reader wanting to read more. We all have issues we need to forgive but can we?

    "Nightmares of people screaming -
    living in bad conditions ain't nobody dreaming."

    I feel that your character is suffering in ways beyond herself. You make reference to the world and how messed up it is. The imagery behind the line, "Nightmares of people screaming" is really intense. Very well written.

    "slowly I've become everything I've been fighting.
    Slowly I've become shameless.
    Slowly I've become - one a them ! "

    A very dark ending but at least one of realisation. A great concept.

    I believe this is, in essence, a great poem. You do, however, need to check some of the grammar (though I am not one to talk) and most importantly, try not to rhyme so much. It takes away from the intensity of your poem.

    Sorry if I am a bit harsh but I do believe u have the template for a great poem here.

    Please have a read of my poems and let me know what u think.
