Obsession

by Nonz   Apr 3, 2009


It was an explosion
of agitating nerves,
as ego battled heightened emotion
pride over fear -
a coward disguised in dignity,
and the pain of silence

overrated!! so ordinary,
the words -
an interruption of thoughts spares the humiliation...

the memories will change
for the sake of sanity,
and the ink will vaporize into thin paper
for someone who will always
prefer my words
over ME.

    From what I gather of the poem's meaning, it's somewhat ironic that this was chosen for a contest win, especially due to the middle stanza. Not to say it didn't deserve it.

    The lack of capitalization in the final two stanzas was an interesting way to build a contrast to the final word. That's some artistic vision right there. Great job. 5/5.
