I'm Not Okay

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Jun 16, 2008


This was written for a contest where we needed at least ten lines with each ending word rhyming.

I stopped and stared at the sky so gray.
Everyone's telling me it's gonna be okay.
What if I lose myself and am led astray?
What if I'm forgotten in a mist of dismay?
Every thought of mine screams disarray
and the root of insanity I can't convey.
No matter how freaking hard I pray
this debt I can never seem to pay!
I saw some light and I wished for it to stay,
but every time it comes it just goes away!
Oh goodness inside why must you stray?
I just don't want another happiness delay...

    "I stopped and stared at the sky so gray.
    Everyone's telling me it's gonna be okay."
    -You said stopped, and stared.. then you said.. telling. You changed the tense. Shouldn't it be.. "Everyone told me everything was going to be okay." Or even something shorter than that.

    "What if I lose myself and am led astray?
    What if I'm forgotten in a mist of dismay?
    Every thought of mine screams disarray
    and the root of insanity I can't convey."
    -Wow. I love those words. Astray, dismay, disarray, convey.. and they all rhyme amazingly!

    This was a really good poem. You really put your emotions out there. Which was great to see. :] Great work, 5/5 -Excellent.
