Change

by tryinXtoXholdXmyXheadXup   Mar 19, 2007


Tears roll down my face as I look at you.
I am your daughter, your disgrace.
I have held my self together with pins and needles,
yelling and screaming when I need to vent.
Holding on to my past,
my not so bad very depressing past.
I hate you!
I always have and I always will.
I can take the fighting,
the yelling and the screaming.
Fists never fly
but sometimes I wish they would.
That would mean change.
Change to our daily routine,
change to the ongoing argument.
Im not afraid to change!
Are you?
Are you afraid we might grow close?
Are you afraid you might actually like me?
One fist will fly.
Yours or mine?
Can you take the change?
This change could ruin you,
tear you down and change you.
Can you handle it
Can you take all the pain and grow from it?
Can you be the one I turn to
in my times of fame and shame.
I pass the ball to your court,
your time to change.
Your turn to make the difference

    Wonderful write with so much emotion within. The flow was good, however; I felt the structure needed work, perhaps breaking it into stanzas would help.

    Peace, Joe

    Intresting read... if im completely truthful it didnt really grab my attention. One thing i did like about was the emotion. You could feel your anger towards her. You could almost in your minds eye see someone screaming all of this out at her. The emotion was clear and it was quite powerful. But i htought the structure wasnt all great. Next time try writing in stanza's. This may help the overall presintation of the poem. Maybe even make your line's similar/same length? Your use of "change", well i felt you used it to much in one stage of the poem and the rest of the poem did not use it as much. But like i said, your emotion in the poem was excellent. - Keep that emotion in all your work. Keep writing! xx

    I actually full on love this poem. it's so much better than the other two you've written. it's raw. it's conceptual. it's thought-provoking. it's amazingly well written.
    i love these lines beyond belief:
    "Fists never fly
    but sometimes I wish they would.
    That would mean change."
    this is much more sophisticated writing and i really enjoyed it. i hope there's more like this.x
