If I Was To Leave

by Melissa S. Masucci   Jun 13, 2006


Lock me up, throw away the key
If I was to leave
would anyone miss me
Sure, mama would cry and my teachers would say
she was so smart for a child her age
but would anyone notice the lack of tears
nobody knows I've been lonely for years
To be beat on the street
would be better than this
I'll never be married, never get kissed
Unbearable, terrible
I go home and cry
disliked and pushed aside
and only God knows why.

[Note: this poem is from around the time I was in Junior High. At the time I was quite depressed and suicidal. I recently found it in an old notebook while unpacking.]

    This is sad :-( It's a short poem, but the best poems in my opinion are always written honestly and I can really tell this is how you felt at the time. I hope things have got better for you since then... The only way you could improve this is to slightly alter the layout so the rhymes are all in the same places.

    In proper English, that title is incorrect. "If I WERE To Leave", which also causes a problem for the line with the title name. Other than that, it's a decent poem. Well, for someone who wrote it in Junior High.

    Full of emotions, a wonderful, powerful write although it sounds rather sad. I hope you are ok and I can totally relate to the poem. The structure of the poem is great and I think you are very talented. Keep it up :)
