Contested

by Michael D Nalley   Jun 20, 2008


Do you love me or am I detested
Do I really deserve to be contested?
Am I worthy, you be the judge
Life's to short to hold a grudge

Once you embraced with open arms
Wooing me with seductive charms
I competed with some for your favor
To gain a friendship I could savor

Pride and envy were among my many sins
As I played your game that nobody wins
The court of approval is so congested
I am somewhat proud to be contested

*This was inspired by a contested divorce in case anyone is wondering

    Is is very short but very well writen....in my oppinion it takes a true poet to write a shorter poem than longer because you have to condence your feelings and thought into less words while still portraying the message.
    well done.
