Let your ignorance be your bliss

by Serina the Squid   Jul 23, 2007


Don't demand.
Do not force me.
I cannot be tamed.
I will not be maimed.

Your words force me down
and dirt hits my eyes
stifles my scream
as the sun loses gleam

You strike to 'behave' me
when i've never slipped footing
when i've never lost touch
and though its not much

I believe I've done well
but still I'm shoved down
My nails scratch ground
I yelp to be found

for whenever I win
you're always at fault
then I'm the good child
strong morals, words mild

you say, "she did it for me"
but thats where, you see,
I succeeded because, mother,
I did it for ME.

    Okay, I LOVED the ending. It was hard hitting and intense.

    The emotion and depth you put into this piece are easily felt by the reader, and the imagery was beautifully created.

    Flow was great throughout, and I found this to be both orignial and unique in concept.

    I think this is the best one I have read of yours so far. I liked the rhyme of the last two lines it was really effective and made the rhyme stand out. Quite an interesting read with an effective last stanza. A good effort when writing this poem. Keep it up. ~mel
