I Don't Live Here

by Purple   Jun 20, 2006


I do not live here
I'm just in between
I do not live here
I just can't believe
I do not live here
Yet I stay some how
I do not live here
I stay for school, for now
I do not live here
Soon it'll just be a childhood dream
I do not live here
I'll just wake up to scream

I do not live here
The kid told me so
I do not live here
I'm just not ready to go
I do not live here
That's not true yet
I do not live here
Until I'm gone I can forget
I do not live here
That very thing
I'll ignore the painful ping

    I like how you repeated "I do not live here" after every line. It gave it a kind of bizarre rhythm. Kindof like a bass drum pretending to be a heart beat. Also.. "The kid told me so" gives it an air of sadness... I'm not sure why. Like... the person doesn't fit in with their family anymore. I don't know.

    Very strong rhythm to this piece and the repition is amazingly effective adding to the overall strength of the writing. The end seems to deviate from the main structure somewhat, but this is in no way a bad thing, even seeming to add to the ends effect.

    Good piece overall. 5/5
