I'M Better Than This Poem by Sam Fischer

I'M Better Than This

Rating: 3.5


I dont deserve to be used,
My hopes, my fears, you chose to abuse,
I dont deserve the way things are,
I could sit all night in this bar,
All I ever wanted, was to be wanted back,
But alas there was never any chance of that,

And now I realise it's time to go,
I'll trapse away through my minds snow,
Wondering how things might have been different,
If I was stronger, and not so belligerent,
My head is small, my mind is closed,
And yet from this my instinct arose,
It knew it would happen,
I knew what you wanted,
So why oh why do I feel so stunted?

All I can say is I'm better than this,
My head knows that, and in that I can dismiss,
The need to be near you, to feel bliss,
So from now I'll go on,
I'll feel no regret,
Because you are the one I know I'll forget.

I'm better than this,
I'm better than you,
I'm better than a rebound,
I'm better than random sound,
Goodbye to you,
Because now we're done,
I walk away in to a brighter sun

This is well and honestly written Luke. A sad and dark piece but ultimately ending with a hopeful and positive last line..... Very good and do keep your talent to the front because you write well.
