Label.

by Megann Lee   Apr 12, 2007


Label me to what your eyes see fit.
The outcast group is where I belong.
I'm not that pretty peppy girl like 'her'.
I'm sorry I can't be what you wanted.

I was never the skinny one.
It was always so difficult.
When you'd scream at me.
Things that were not true.

"You are fat.
You are dumb.
You are not my child.
How could you be so ugly.
Your Father is useless.
You should never have been born."

I was an all out mistake.
A 'thing' my mother sees.
She wishes she could get rid of me.
An abortion is what I was gonna be.

Label me to what your eyes see fit.
I'm not better than the rest of you.
Brought up in hell, ashamed I should be.
But I'm still--just plain old me.

    Things that where not true.
    ^ Should be 'were' not 'where'

    Awh, this was really sadd. I like it though, the descriptions were simple but good, the flow worked pretty well, and the emotion was clear. I think if you use one rhyme you should rhyme the whole way through but thats just my opinion. I like the dashes in the last line, nice literary effect. Nicely done though hun. 5/5

    I'm sorry to hear that you went/are going through that. It's a very powerful poem though. A lot of emotion of pain and anger, expressed really well. The flow was good and the word use was appropriate for the poem. Well done hun. =] 5/5
