Slit-Wristed and Redheaded

I warn you, you have to read through the whole piece of writing to understand it.

Quite frankly I'm just a little sick of people in general.

I'm just a little tired that I can't walk to Wal Mart without someone staring.

I can't be a best friend without someone caring

I can't be a good citizen without someone laughing

I've given up hope in a heaven

I've sold my soul to the devil

Fore he is the only one who cares

I've slapped a couple angels

I've cut my wrist a couple times

I've capitvated myself in a shower of sins

 

It seems like my anger is only one that wins.

I feel your pain. I can relate to every word of this. Please know that I do not think anything bad about you. FRom what I can tell youre a sweet, caring, talented, smart, beautiful, amazing girl. All those people...theyre just jealous of you and your talents.

[A. V. Madison]

They're not saying anything bad, don't worry! And thank you so much, dear.

[Legolas]

Well if they are...its not true. Dont believe them. Your very welcome hun.

I have written so many pieces similar to this, but none quite as blunt and straight to the piont. If this is what you can do off the top of your head then theres definately something there for you to work with and possibly become something really amazing.

How did you know this was off the top of my head? Hahaha Shauna (By the way, I love that name) I think you're phsycic!!

[Shauna Jacqueline Anderson]

Haha, It's just the general style of the piece, the way it's written and things, like I said I've written a lot like this so I can relate to it on a really personal level.

[A. V. Madison]

That's great. I love when my readers can relate to my writing personally, not just thinking it's written well. That, my friend, is the best feeling.

Could it be that you are tired of people around you making judgments, about you? Those people who sneer and laugh at you without the courtesy of even trying to get to know who you real are.

Take it from one who has lived the bullied and judged life. The power of your own spirit is all that counts. Use your writing, not as an escape, but as the talent that is it for making words form into ideas and visions. You have the gift. I see it in just the two pieces I have read.

[A. V. Madison]

Thanks for your extensive review! It means a lot. I never thought of myself being gifted, but I'll never turn down a compliment. Thank you.

You're angry with stereotypes, or at least it comes off that way... Sort of. it's confusing but it an interesting way. I love the title and the line, 'I've capitvated myself in a shower of sins'. Very emotional piece and one I can relate to!

[A. V. Madison]

Congratulations! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!! Yeah, you guessed it. It's kind of like my comment on Emrick's, below this one.

[Emrick]

I'd fail this one if it was in my literature paper.
i think it means that you feel Unwanted.am i right?.

[A. V. Madison]

Why, is it that bad of a poem? Jesus, I was only venting hahaha.
And yes you're right. I'm just a little, eh, frustrated (to say the least) with society.

[Emrick]

no.its not a bad poem.i found it a lil complicating.n its just a poem or you really feel that way?.

[A. V. Madison]

I really feel that way. Because when you live in California and you're expected to be some volleyball-playing superstar with blonde hair and tan skin and be tall and sickeningly skinny (and when you're me, pale-skinned, basketball-playing, red-haired, and weird- you get bullied.), and it sucks. But hey, that's just what you have to deal with. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[Keith]

I liked the Friedrich Nietzsche quote at the end of the last comment :)
Bullying does suck. The "people" who bully are simply revealing their lack of humanness. And even-through it is hard (believe me I know) to deal with, your continued expression of your own truth is what will make your life fulfilled.

Woow I truly understand this!....good writing.
