The U.N.F.O.R.G.I.V.E.N

An acrostic poem inspired by Metallica's song "The Unforgiven", about a man who never took risks in life and ended up regretting it.

 The U.N.F.O.R.G.I.V.E.N

 

Unwilling to risk anything, now look at what I’ve become,

Now everything for me has just come and gone

Forever allowing the world to decide my fate,

Onto the ground I fall, and now it’s all too late.

Realized I couldn’t please them all, no matter what I do,

Gave my all for this, but just couldn’t see it through.

I’m accepting my fate, nothing else can be done,

Vanquished and bitter, insane I’ve become.

End of my story now, I truly am unforgiven,

Now I die in all regret, in the sadness I kept hidden.

[trainwreck]

very nice. Its a clever style to use, and one I haven't seen in a while. I love the line "gave my all for this, but just couldn't see it through." I think we've all been there. Great interpretation.

[OT]

this is really good UD!! a strong acrostic which rhymes and has this aura of apathetic darkness about it (from the words to the red which looks like it's dripping)! very nice!

[HopelesslyDevoted]

"I’m accepting my fate, nothing else can be done,
Vanquished and bitter, insane I’ve become.
End of my story now, I truly am unforgiven,
Now I die in all regret, in the sadness I kept hidden."

I loved those lines. Excellent and very well written acrostic.
