Kind Hearts Don't Grab Any Glory

by Jenni Marie   Sep 25, 2007


She used to be so innocent, wholesome and sweet
Only now, she's transformed into a liar and a cheat

Other's feelings, she just causally disregards
Carelessly leaving their hearts in a million shards

Hurt to many times, always left so lonely and blue
Wasted countless tears, feeling she couldn't continue

Slowly began to cut herself off, freezing everyone out
Heart was turning black, mind now full of doubt

Pain other's caused, so strong thought she'd overdose
Finally began learning, not to let people get close

Eyes slowly turning to ice, became calculating and low
She wanted revenge, wouldn't take pain anymore

Other's actions, simply made her lose her way
Now she has only heartless things left to say

She's become so cold, soul the darkest shade of black
Now wondering, if it's even possible to ever turn back

And yet still, she sits alone and silently cries
Icy, frozen tears, streaming from broken eyes

Hugging herself whispering, "How did this become my story?
Why is it that kind hearts never seem to grab any glory?"

    Wow the last two lines were my favourite by far. It wrapped up the poem but it also connected the poem to the title that you picked. Nice job. Usually I don't like poems with couplets but this one was very nicely done. You made each stanza powerful enough to stand on its own but also smooth enough to connect to the rest of the poem. The only criticism I have is that rhyme scheme is a little off. From what I can tell the rhyming is supposed to be aa, bb, cc, dd, etc and it works but when I got to the sixth stanza it got disrupted. I liked that stanza but I feel if you make those two lines rhyme it will make the poem sound better overall. But besides that everything else was really good it caught my attention and kept it.
