I'm Done

by Paiger   Sep 24, 2008


I'm tired of not knowing
if he likes me or not
but I should know he doesn't
because that's how it always turns out

I'm done being rejected
when I know he's just
going to run straight to her
why do they always want the easy girl?

Why am I considered so different?
I don't judge what you do
Just because I'm not rebellious with you?
just because I don't do the things you do?

Just when I think it's obvious
it becomes apparent that it's a meaningless action
even if they don't like you
why make it more confusing ....

I'm done not knowing who likes who
if their actions are for real
or if it's just for fun
why try to fake attraction?

I don't want to fake it
I want to take you by the hand
and walk with you and kiss you
for real, I mean what I say

Maybe I'm not done,
maybe I have some strength left
deep down, thats rising up
ready to try again

    Nice moral :)
    i was a little confused by this line
    "Why am I considered do different?"
    do different? .. did you mean so?
    cause i think that would make more sense there.

    again ..as you chose free verse.. embrace it.. leave us hanging on the edge of every line waiting for what unexpected thing you have to say next rather than using rather cliche words that may not be avoided with a rhyming stanza but could potentially be avoided here.

    like this stanza for example :

    "Why am I considered do different?
    I don't judge what you do
    Just because I'm not rebellious with you?
    just because I don't do the things you do?"

    the words "do" and "you" are just jumping all over it... i mean i understand "you" there isnt much way to avoid using that.. but "do" could be replaced..
    also the words "with you" in the 3rd line could be taken out .. because it seems like they just mess with the flow. but then again this is your poem and your welcome to write it as you wish.

    i hope you dont think im being too harsh, cause i totally dont mean it that way.. just some constructive criticism.
    take care x)

    Pretty good. It's something a lot of girls can relate to and understand reading this. The rhythm wasn't very strong for me, but nevertheless, it was good. Only thing is, in the fifth stanza "of if it's just for fun" did you mean 'or' rather than 'of'?

    Well done
