Stuck in Between

by Malachi   Mar 16, 2011


Why is mommy crying and falling down?
Why is daddy screaming with a scary frown?
I dont understand why it has to be like this?
Where is all the fun I now miss?
My smiles and giggles have gone bye-bye
Our family doesnt seem to have a life
And when night comes I cant go asleep
I hug my bear and then start to weep
I can hear loud screaming outside my room
Mean words are said along with big booms
Please, please stop and just go to bed
I beg of you and so does Ted
That drawing of us up on my wall
Starts to shake then shivers and falls
The next day mommy is gone
She left before the waking dawn
I rip my picture, my piece of art
This was all stupid from the start
Mommy and daddy never loved me
And these feelings inside me will never be free
I want to scream and yell and cry
Like mommy does when daddy says goodbye
My bear ted cant make this alright
I cry alone in the dusk of night
And as years go on Im always alone
And when daddy calls I dont pick up the phone
Mommy met a new man named Lee
And Im pretty sure he doesnt like me
Daddy now has a new little girl
Im sure He treats her like his little pearl
When I look back at my stupid life
I realize now that I just might
End it all here and destroy me life
I am now thirteen years old and can handle a knife
Cause when I get bigger I dont want to be like them
Destroy my kids life and just give in
I cant stop crying or missing the old days
Filled with smiles and giggles now turned into haze
The picture that ripped is still in my drawer
When I look at it my heart feels sore
If I grow up will I be like mommy?
If I grow up will my man be like daddy?
I want to be happy and put the pages together
For us to be happy now and forever
Death is not the way to go
But if it were my choice I would let it be so
Instead I pick up the tape, staples and glue
And place back the memories that I once drew

    This Poem obviously shows off your rhyming skills and style. In my own opinion I think Poetry is about Presentation if Anything. Example, Space out your lines, like every 4, 6 or 8 lines leave a gap or a line and then proceed again.

    Instead I pick up the tape, staples and glue
    And place back the memories that I once drew

    That is whopper of a finish. I great conclusion. 10/10.

    My poetry is all about imagery and nature mostly, so if you like you can use more descriptive words. Example

    My bear ted cant make this alright
    I cry alone in the dusk of night

    I'd write it like this

    My blissful Bear Ted, can't recycle or rearrange this alright,
    My Chagrin will never dissolve in the rust and blackness of this treacherous night

    I thought this poem had some typical rhymes which is typical in a lot of rhyming poems :/

    However, the story line was terribly sad. My parents got divroced 2 years ago and my dad is dating someone else. I could relate to certain parts of this poem. Its a sad thing to go to, but sometimes it works out for theb est thats for sure.

    Death is not the way to go
    But if it were my choice I would let it be so
    Instead I pick up the tape, staples and glue
    And place back the memories that I once drew

    ^ This ending was great! I'm glad to see you ended it on a positive note! Good job :)
