Outside the social circle

by kevin Boundy AKA the ghost   Jan 23, 2009


Here I stand
In the farthest corner of my mind
Hiding from the social life
In this world that's so unkind

I made myself this way
Antisocial and anti-life
I was the person who decided
That my only true friend is this dull knife

Yes I have clients
But they smile because I'm suppling them with drugs
The second I'm no use to them
My body will be infested with lead slugs

They give me respect
But is respect the same as fear?
Confusion clouds my vision
Making things so unclear

The circle I'm apart of
Is desperate to become a line
Everyone stabs each other in the back
But I seem to be perfectly fine

In this game we play
You are simply just a pawn
I'm the king of this demon circle
Call me the devils spawn

    Truthfully, I think the were good parts and bad parts. For example, I thought the third stanza was very messy, and it ruined the flow, and that the last line of the second stanza could've been shorter, slso to help with the flow. However, I thought the opening and closing stanzas were great. Especially the later, and especially the very last line. The reason I like these stanzas, were because of their power, wording and rhymes. You had very strong opening and closing stanzas, which is key to a good poem.
