Rosaline Killed Romeo Pt. 1

Well technically she did.

You always said this wasn't a game...
But look how you've played me!
I feel like an old man inside,
Trying to be cool with the fact that I'll someday die.
I said I'm scared!
But you know I'll never deny a dare...

Your arms look like Edward Scissorhands got hives.
Why do such a thing? Endorphins you can buy.

I'm a mother f*****g nutcase,
Watch where I go,
I'm never in the same place,
Unless there's a party...
Smoke and drink the pain away.
Then snort away the rest of my feelings.
Don't preach to me, I'm a machine.

Author's Note

Angry aren't I? :)

you paint the depths of the lost generation caught between spectacular tech and familial emotional distances with the palpable anger and pain it should engender~ the world leaves so many holes inside its children that the children grown then attempt to fill them up with whatever source promises to ease the edges of the wounds~ your voice within this poem embodies the perfect pitch and tone relating serrated relationship edges to break the barrier between writer and reader and leap the space between with potent effect~

Nice poem :)

A huge antagonism's yelling aloud there... speaking fury! :) It's so heartfelt and powerful... I adore the last lines, they could never be better than that: THEY WERE A CREATION :D I love it

Anger was strong in your words. Sometime good to release the anger and move on. I do believe we must fix our self. We must fall to the bottom and get up better or fall into a craziness with no road back. A powerful poem. I like the ending.

Oh man, I hate when my review follows Selene's. I might as well just say "good poem". Truly, your emotions shout off the screen. The universal theme of numbing our pain with partying and alcohol will hit everyone for we have all been there at least once in our lives. (as we get older maybe less partying and more alcohol).
Good poem.
