Truth

This is something I wrote in class as usual. I found it after a week of searching nwow it's posted! SWEET! Enjoy.

Silent suffocation coats these walls.

Inside I've suffered a thousand falls.

From the shiny golden cliffs of succes,

To the grimy, cold pits of unrest.

 

How could I always come so far.

To find that the door is locked & barred?

In the cracked mirror, a girl's face.

Big, brown eyes shine truth & grace.

 

That girl in the mirror once was me.

The real me that I ceased to be.

People never listened to my cries,

I watched them march slowly to their demise.

 

They said, "You're a child, what do you know?"

I know where this damned world is bound to go.

I know that people discriminate.

Ruin people's lives with our ignorance & hate.

 

To put it frankly, I'm tired.

I'm going to quit before I get fired.

If you want to die with all the rest,

Feel free. Go ahead. Be my guest.

Lizzness, this was great. I just loved the rhyme in this piece, you slowly and heartbreakingly swayed your way into your readers hearts. Stirring emotions one never really want to think about. Really liked the way you said that you are going to resign on life�. Very original and personally I think it was amazingly clever, bringing forth a certain pizzazz to a already magnificent piece.

I really really loved this, I thought this was a emotion felt masterpiece

I totally adored the poem. I hope, you win. You used simple words but with great impact. I hope this is only a poem and not the way one lives. I voted for you.
