24k Gold Restraint

by Alexandra Jade Brewer   Sep 20, 2007


People often wonder about
The locket around her neck
Its the reason shes damaged
Its causing a train wreck

She hates what its doing
Shes giving up, no longer holding on
She undoes the clasp
Of life's biggest con

The locket crashes on the ground
Causing the two half's to part
She stares painlessly in the eyes
That caused this whole mess to start

She chases away evil demons
She's no longer going to fear
She's no longer stuck in the past
With the mother that she loved dear

Turning quickly on her heels
She leaves the locket behind
That 24k gold restraint
That to her was never kind.

    The flow was a little off the message was right maybe just do a syllabol count on each line and fix the uneven ones and youve got yourself another amazing poem!

    I'm glad that I read this one. it was very symbolic and really emotional. It was as if she was being held back by her mother even when her mother was dead. I felt some relation to this when it comes to certain aspects of my life. Thnx for the read
    5/5
