Disgrace

by EJ   Jul 12, 2005


I feel like a pawn
In a world of all queens
these thoughts haunt my dreams
as I make my silent scream

I feel like a checker
surrounded by kings
no where to move
no one to see

I feel like a red two
in a deck of all holy aces
so out of place
but nothing seems to change

I feel like a beggar
watching all the rich
nothing I can do
there is not magic switch

I feel like I’m starving
As my feast surrounds
A feeling as if
I’m about to hit the ground

I feel like a lover
who’s lover doesnt care
never to know
how much of their heart they share

I feel like a friend
hurt and afraid
only because
I’ve just been betrayed

I feel all of this
Because the truth is my pain
I’ve tried to hide it
But I cannot stay this way

I’ll tell you now
I feel out of place
Everything is true
This is my disgrace

    I love how you gave a picture of how you feel out of place....especially the cards and checkers...VERY CREATIVE.

    You rhymed some stanzas and not some others. I think you should decide one or the other as the unevenness takes away from the flow. I love this poem though...it's so unique.

    Very nice write!! :)

    Very creative way of expressing your feelings. I was wondering in the first line if you meant pawn where you have "pone"? The 4th stanza I think takes away from the uniqueness. This line "But I can not up stain" I wasn't quite sure what you were wanting to say. It just didn't make sense to me. I hope you are looking for an honest comment. I am just trying to help. The idea behind this poem was brilliant it just needs a few tweeks here and there. Great idea loved your creativeness. Take Care! Brooke~

    Thank you for you comments on my poems I really appreciate your time! =)

    I liked it, but one line really confuses me "But I can not up stain"

    I can't figure out what you meant to write here.

    Otherwise, I think you're right...I did pick the poems of yours that weren't your best, lol...

    I like this one much better.
