Miss Misery

Thanks a lot Foo Fighrers

Miss Misery please don’t 

Bring me down, at least right now

Could you find it in your heart 

Just to wait awhile longer

Until the rain stops from falling down

Why won’t you just let me see 

That sunshine smile

But you insist on hiding behind 

Every single cloud

Won’t look up into anyone’s skies

And carousel your life

Keeps on spinning ‘round and round

Yet, I look right through you and 

Your every day disguise

Yourself, stop running away 

My muse in confuse the lies

Miss Misery although you sing 

The blues in everything you do

I can’t help myself; 

I’m still falling in love with you

But, I refuse to take a drag 

Upon my only Achilles nicotine

Please, don’t bring me down

Anyways just not right now

Let’s wait awhile until

I am so totally into you that I can’t change

I’m not ready to live in shelter 

Of such complicated rain

I need to feel warmth and to walk the line

Miss Misery… Please? Perhaps before we start 

You can let me go

Aw, the Foo Fighters are a cool band I heard a few of their songs and liked them. I find that Miss Misery (your poem) speaks about something or someone who we have met or experienced. The way the poem gives misery a human identity is interesting and was described in such a personal way that was effective. This seems like something that was thought about and I like that. Theres a lot of sincere feeling. Thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks. I kinda just jammed this song over and over and wrote what came to my mind's own interpretation.

[Nyanachi]

Oh that's a good way to get in the 'zone' x)

Really liked the poem and really like the Foo Fighters so I guess that makes sense, lol. Keep writing for sure.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks Annabell, makes sense, lol.

Poor Miss Misery and her man, it's perhaps only cause and effect though. :)

Beccy.

[Michael G. Smith]

I like the way you think, perhaps its because I hear myself in your words.Beccy what do I do? I seem to be at a poetry writing dead end these days.

[Rita L. Sev]

I think I have been her, and I have known her...

I refuse to take a drag on my only Achilles nicotine... - Great line!

[Michael G. Smith]

We've all had our dark days. Thanks Rita. How's the school year going so far?

[Rita L. Sev]

The usual September chaos - we are settling in!

Hey I haven't read your work in a while! But I didn't forget how wonderful it is, amazing as always :) I'm very happy with this piece for a lot of reasons, one being I can definitely relate to this. And I loved a lot of lines. 1. : "And your life like a carousel". I never thought of it that way but that's perfect. Another part I liked was: "Why won’t you just let me see that sunshine smile But you insist on hiding behind every single cloud" Great thinking/ writing!

[Michael G. Smith]

Always a pleasure to read your comments. Thanks for your insights.

Yes I have had my own stint with many Damsels in distress. They are mostly attention seekers creating a web of lie. But that is not a man of worth would like to get involved into.

[Michael G. Smith]

Its more of the attraction of the "Bad girl". They have an exciting allure but also dangerous. Thanks Anvinsh.
