Lamentations

The words of a frustrated writer.

 

“King, this poem of yours makes no sense

It has no reason. Hells,

It barely even rhymes

I don’t like it. Yes

The choice of words and the grammar is bad”

Like, I Care!

 

Tried to please you guys,

But you never agree, why

You’re always changing your minds!

“Change this! No, change that!”

I am tired!!

 

I don’t know if I’m still running but

I know I ran ‘cos,

I was never really around much

Don’t even know if the errands stopped

I’m confused!

 

I don’t know what I’m doing anymore!

Oh, I know what I’ve done

Its evident ‘cos,

I’m always getting judged!

 

“King, you never listen!

You’re such an erring soul!”

Now, all I’ve been told

Is, I have to sellout for me to get sold

“When it comes to your art,

Behind is where you put your heart!”

 

Now, I’m being forced to write thin's

I do not believe in

Just to keep you all believing

That I am not bleeding

See!

I don’t know if I’m still crying but,

I know cried ‘cos

The me I became was

Such a lie

Fine write...follow your heart, not the critics !

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

I like the sass and rhythm of this poem. Great line-"I have to sellout for me to get sold". No harm, no foul, no judge. You are talented and should not compromise your muse. Loved this.

[Coyote Poetry]
