Your Mental Game

by Jodie Phillips   Feb 22, 2008


How can I live this way
You have to follow the rules
Stop being so cruel.

I've put up with it for too long
I finally see what it is you do
I wont take no more mental abuse from you.

I have been blinded by your game
Mental Abuse was it's name
Using my weaknesses to burn my brain
Until it no longer functioned the same.

Twisting every word I would say
Making me believe I was always to blame
Grinding me down until I was nearly insane.

Like a hunter messing with it's prey
I'd lash out just to get you away.
You loved seeing me in this state
It was like a rush running through your veins.

Exhausted from what you have displayed
Believing I'm this horrible person you have portrayed
The damage now permanently engraved.
Sobbing, in my tears i have layed
So confused and in a constant daze.

A 5 year headache where unanswered questions lay
Because you never give them the time of day
To date they still remain.

But I can feel my headache has started to fade
I'm starting to see the light of day
I've realized i don't like the game you play
The rules are not fair I'm taking them away
Now lets see you win your nasty game....

    I felt the rhymes were repetitive. For example, you used a lot of words that rhyme with, away, day, play. That sort of thing. It got annoying. I also felt the worlds could have been more advanced. For me I like to see complex or not used as frequently words. I don't even have to know what the words me. In fact it may be better that way because then I will be forced to expand my vocabulary. I just felt the poem was lack luster and the word and rhyming choice took away from the message of the poem. Interesting title though. 2 because I got lost and choice of words.
