Tomorrow I'll Be You

by Ashleigh Skye   Oct 29, 2006


Insignificant little differences,
bring confusion into the game,
strong wills and stubborn attitudes,
leave the loser beaten and blamed.

Slashed by off hand remarks,
burned by calculated glares,
temporarily mended by a smile or talk,
while a fire still rages in the stares.

Way to many casualties recorded,
to many names dragged through the dirt,
because of a war with no end in sight,
just plateau's that mask the hurt.

Now I take a page from you're rule book,
the one you wrote out by hand,
prepared to follow it to a T,
in hopes to show you where we stand.

So tomorrow I'll take all your shining stars,
and pull them from the sky,
let the demons run loose inside your head,
and pretend I don't see you cry.

    I really like this poem. its amazing. but i got a little confused with the fourth and fith stanza's, cause why would you wanna follow someones rule book to a "t" so you knew where you stood to them. and then let demons go inside there mind.

    maybe im jsut totally not getting the point.

    but still good job.

    Man, that was one AMAZING poem! The emotion that it showed was so true and heartfelt... It was one of the best I've ever read.

    So tomorrow I'll take all your shining stars,
    and pull them from the sky,
    let the demons run loose inside your head,
    and pretend I don't see you cry.

    That's my favourite verse. I know it sorta makes sense, because it's the last one, but I truly think it puts a shocking finish to the story told through the poetry. Love it! And keep it up!

    Well, it was a well-written poem. Very good imagery, but I hope you don't plan on hurting anyone emotionally or phsyically because it only feels good temporarily but the guilt and consequences last a lifetime. Jpoet*
