Staying Away

by Xx Eternal Fantasy xX   Apr 17, 2007


Its been a long day and now it's late at night;
Laying down in bed, no trace of light.
She starts to reminisce, thinking of everything;
It was pain and she couldn't do anything.

She recalled the conversations with friends;
Feeling so vulnerable; nothing to defend.
Hated being around the vociferious ones;
Soon she found herself wishing to be alone.

Day after day; minute after minute.
She was content on staying away and mute;
Trying to keep her distance from so many.
Now no one could cajole her to stay.

As she scrutinized her friends, the pain came;
The way they talk, she'll never be the same.
She couldnt trust, she couldn't play that game;
It made her dissent; she couldn't be so lame.

She hated the thought of being decieved,
Keeping her eyes open, she saw herself leave;
Feeling that everything was a lie.
And everyone was fake, and she couldn't deny.

She did whatever she could do to stay away;
Feelings and memories were there to stay.
Her happy memories were ever so little;
And her sad memories were unforgetable.

When she was hurt or disliked something,
She kept quiet; unable to reproach anything,
Always thinking it was better to condone;
She liked the solitude and being left alone.

She wanted to leave, hide, and be alone;
Loving the peace and solitude, away from her phone
Hidden secrets, regrets, and lost trust;
Tearing her spirit apart, changing her day by day... in every way.

    I enjoyed this poem alot, Much better then your last one. Your vocab was god although i found some lines to be shorter then others maybe if you shortened them down a bit by changing the syllable count it would be better. Other then that well done~mel

    I loved the title for the poem; seemed to fit it quite well.

    I loved how you used words that sorta challenged readers vocabulary, such as; vociferious, scrutinized, and dissent.
    This poem was quite amazing. A lot better than your last, may I say. It seemed as if it came from deeper within, than the other one.

    Overall; 5/5
    I loved it. :]
