Freak Of Nature

Freak Of Nature

 

~

 

 

 

Obsessed

           Freak                              

                Ugly.

 

All words I was thinking

Of when you were upset with me.

Stupid

        I was so stupid

                            So obsessed.

 

I don’t want to

Be like this.

 

You think it’s easy

To let go of a part

Of yourself?

 

Well, it’s not.

I’ve been trying

For years without

Success.

 

 

Bitchy

       Crabby

             Cynical

                    Grumpy

                          Miserable.

 

 

All a part of my personality

It’s not fair that I have to try to hide

Them away from people, as if they’re not to be seen.

 

If you want

I can be nice

I can be helpful

 

But only if you let me be myself.

 

To be myself

I have to rear my ugly head

Once in awhile

 

Sure, I know I have anger issues

Sure, I get mad at the dumbest, littlest things.

 

But does it matter? You’re my friend.

It shouldn’t matter whether I’m depressed, emo,

Or just plain whiny.

 

You said you’d always be there

But whenever you get mad at me

I can’t help but wonder

 

Will you leave,

Just because I piss you off,

Just because you wish I didn’t have all

The negativity that I do?

 

I hope not

Because then that would mean that

You were never truly my friend to begin with.

 

And that alone would just kill me.

 

I don’t like feeling like a

Freak of Nature.

Oh, the array of thoughts with different font--brilliant! We are all a bit cynical and crazy from time to time, and it is those who believe we should only have highs and never have lows that can't handle us. You portray the erratic emotional and mental thoughts spot on. Nicely done.

very strong and expressive writing~ I absolutely love movement in a poem~ so your offset lines for me personally work to enhance the poignancy of the content~
and yes~ you are right~ individuals who are your true friends accept every aspect of you~ both the pleasent and the darker arenas of character~ without judgement~ excellent presentation!~

Kristen, you are part of the human race, and as such, at times all of which you describe. And yes, it would be sad if your friends don't accept you as you are. If they don't, get new ones that do. (I know, not as easy as it sounds) Nicely written.

I understand this completly. I have had friends with that kind of attitue and mine can slip into that too. Once u let ur guard down the other person has to be able to hold you up while ur falling, Sonetimes its a hard thing to do and to let urslef fall. I realyl enjoyed this piece incredible emotion and form. Very good.

A topic I'm sure many can relate with. Nice use of formatting to accentuate the message of the poem. Good stuff.
