Over dramatic

by Tainted Beauty   Jul 26, 2006


All through this year, I felt awkward and out of place,
All my friends seemed so close, and I always felt left out,
I always knew I didnt fit in with them,
I was never the type of girl they were,

I was the bad one,
I took risks and played dangerous games of chance,
I never regarded what others thought,
I was loud and I spoke my mind,

I could always feel them frowning upon me behind my back,
I was too risky to be around,
They could never tarnish their spotless reputation,
I was unsafe to them,

They were perfect,
They would never do anything that even sounded like a risk,
The would always play it on the safe side,
I hated it,

When I would tell them about the things Ive done,
I could feel them cringe in front of me,
They never understood the thrill I got from the adrenaline rush,
I guess they could never understand,

I was addicted to the rush I got whenever I would take a chance,
Playing dangerous games that could have very serious consequences,
I was a rebel,
And I was their taboo,

They would always tell me what a danger I was to be seen with,
I would tell them to leave if they didnt like the way I lived,
They never did, I guess they were better friends than I thought,
Eventually I started to settle down and live their way,

They turned me into what I am now,
And As I look back upon the way I used to live,
I start to realize maybe it wasnt as bad as I imagined
But even in my over dramatic life, my friends were still there to guide me.

*This is the first poem like this I have ever posted, i hope you like it:)

    I like this, it tells a really inspirational story. There is no rhyme or specific rhythm but it flows well and it doesn't just ramble on... lol Nice work! 5/5

    PS - You commented on my poem "the ballad of urith Trevelyan". St Mary's church is in Nettlecombe in Somerset. And she didn't die the way she did in my poem, that was my imagination! I don't know how she did really die.

    Wow, is this real? If not, you`re very convincing! If it is real, honey, I`m so sorry. I`m always here if you need to talk. =D. The flow seemed a bit forced at some points ;; but overall it was pretty good. You did a great job, 5/5

    Love Much,

    Ooo! Terrific write! I loved the way you expressed how you felt in this poem. And you shouldn't be what other people want you to be. It ends up horrible. Just be who you think you want to be. Everything will fold out in the end. 5/5 =) xoxo
