Take A Walk With Me

by Jump from Life   Jul 13, 2012


Step alongside my scarred feet,
learn to walk to my beat.
Nothing I've done is a feat
but please take a seat.

Don't look past my tear-stained face
and count me out of life's daily race.
Follow my words as I begin to trace
my life as I went from place to place.

When I was born to my mother
she never did quite hover
overhead my crib and cover
my body, this wasn't what she had wished on the clover.

Years go by and soon there's frights
about different things such as rights.
Both of my parents has lost sight
of those that they should've held tight.

Then came the crisp, cool day
when everything I had to say
became unimportant, as my parents pushed me away.
So, in hiding is where I had to stay.

Next came a time when the pain became worse.
I had came to think my existance was a curse.
So, I began to write a verse
about how I wished to ride in a hearse.

Nobody ever saw me cry,
especially after the day I could've died
by my classmates side as he did try
to end my life, which was a lie.

Next came the days of endless hiding
because there was nobody I could confide in.
The endless nights of crying
stopped working out and I began cutting.

Ugly scars cover my skin
telling an awful truth of sin.
My once sunny days have turned ashen
as life slowly began to win.

Then an awful night of being hit,
feeling mens hands forcing me to sit.
Then forced a knife into my skin so hard it bit
and sliced through like butter, making me want to quit.

I kept to myself, feeling my will cave in.
Nobody knew of the sin
that had happened, how I was left to rot in a bin
with blood-soaked skin.

Now I wish I were dead
and I hope that as you read
this, maybe someone will help me instead
of throwing spears through my head.

*Alright, so I know this isn't my best but its about my life. No, it doesn't include everything about my life, only about a quarter of the stuff. If you don't like it, don't comment or rate please. This is purely just a vent and an expression of my thoughts.*

    I didn't really see this as venting actually, it came across to me as a deep filled poem with lots of pain and torture which you are feeling inside.

    Follow my words as I begin to trace
    my life as I went from place to place

    - loved these lines, it is like an invitation for the reader to join you into the rest of your poem as you explain to them part of your life.

    When I was born to my mother
    she never did quite hover
    overhead my crib and cover
    my body, this wasn't what she had wished on the clover.

    Years go by and soon there's frights
    about different things such as rights.
    Both of my parents has lost sight
    of those that they should've held tight.

    Then came the crisp, cool day
    when everything I had to say
    became unimportant, as my parents pushed me away.
    So, in hiding is where I had to stay

    - I like these stanza's because you explain the relationship between yourself and your parents and clearly show that you feel ignored by them or in some way not good enough for them, a sense of always being unwanted by your mother.
    - there are 2 errors in your second stanza here, firstly the first line "Years go by and soon there's frights" - I think frights should be fights? Secondly, the third line "Both of my parents has lost sight" has is not the correct grammer for this sentence, either had ( in the past tense ) or have, ( referring to the present tense ) this would make more sense.

    Next came a time when the pain became worse.
    I had came to think my existance was a curse.
    So, I began to write a verse
    about how I wished to ride in a hearse

    - I really liked how you portray the idea of suicde here without using the exact words, this is very unique using the idea of the hearse.

    Next came the days of endless hiding
    because there was nobody I could confide in.
    The endless nights of crying
    stopped working out and I began cutting

    - this stanza shows the the loneliness you feel and the pain inside when it is released at nights. Your coping mechanism being self harming shows how desperate you are to make the pain stop.

    Then an awful night of being hit,
    feeling mens hands forcing me to sit.
    Then forced a knife into my skin so hard it bit
    and sliced through like butter, making me want to quit

    - you added this information in but left it undetailed as to what really happened, the reader has to second guess it in a way. This also comes across like it was so traumatic for you that you can't relive the details so are skimming past the event in order to protect yourself from the pain.

    Now I wish I were dead
    and I hope that as you read
    this, maybe someone will help me instead
    of throwing spears through my head

    - I liked your ending, it is like your final cry for help. a plead to make things better.

    This poem was really deep with emotion and pain and you done a good job expressing your feelings. Well done.

    If you are really asking for help, then do not be on your own with this, reach out to someone, I can offer to be there to listen if that helps, but do not remain alone.
