Lost The Will To Live (C) 4-19-09

Rating: 3.5


Not another sad poem, I’m sick of writing sad poems
Poems of heartbreak and deceit
Poems in which I’m emotionally set on fire
And my under garments are drenched in gasoline

I feel so unloved even by the refuse extracted from men
It’s like I walk around cologne smelling of vomit
I’ve washed my skin from the paint that makes me a toy
But I foretold you hurting me like Nostradamus

I always felt like I was in love with someone
But that’s not what the movies and books chose
I had no choice but to gaze into the stars
And think of asking you is this the way love goes

Please God in the Heavens not another sad poem
Please strike this pen from me and turn it happy
Please lord of all men and lord of the skies
Take your mighty celestial hand and slap me

Right before my eyes I envision you leaving me
All for him on the hoppy revival holiday
You know I tried to ease her Sunday
But I knew that soon we’d just fall away

I wish I could sue fairy tales for fraud
Because there’s never a happy ending
I studied Cinderella and Sleeping beauty
And I should sue for the time I’m spending

Maybe it’s because they were girls or something
But I thought maybe they’d be for every gender
I hoped I could at least be Prince Charming
And I be granted a hand that I could lend her

Constantly heard leave them girls alone
But that’s what my biological dad say
Maybe I should’ve heeded his warning
Cause now I’ve lost the will to live like Padma

^.^ The poem was great, I love the scheme and mechinism that you use to illerturate your poem. However, there are a few changes that could be made.1) You first need to consider all of the gramatical errors, and I'm not talking about the usual comma structure. I mean the words within the lines of stanzas; you make each of them flow quite nicely, but try to fix those inner words. Keep the tenses the same.2) Whenever somebody is speaking, always use quotation marks, no matter what. There's not a lot of New York accent in your poem, but there is a lot of emotion. Emotion is good, you make the reader want to read more of your poems. Although, too much emotion makes the reader turn away from you in disgust....so what you're doing, is right on track in this poem. Great job on it overall, and keep your head up. There's always other girls/women out there to take ahold and heal your heart.
