I love this! i ACTUALLY do!
i just finished writing this poem for CW 10 class tomorrow. i’m posting it because i liked it, unlike the rest of the poems i wrote for that class and even the ones i didn’t write for that class but i just wanted to.
check this out, this is "Mental":
They do not know
how it feels to be
Imprisoned
behind invisible bars;
To be forced to dwell
Alone;
Forced to be looked upon
with an expression of
Disgust,
Hilarity,
or even pity,
Like some common mule
going senile in a zoo
Yet before all this,
everything was pure bliss
And in case anything
goes wrong,
Utopia is just a
mind’s wandering away
But then they put you
in this place where
they say you “belong”
And from then on
you were to face this world
Unaccompanied;
hindered by your inability
To be just like them
And now you sit
In this room
Blinded
by the color
that it lacks to offer
Trapped,
not only by
these four padded walls
and this jacket
that you can’t seem
to move in,
but by your mind as well
Lacking the competence
to co-exist
with the world,
you once again
retreat to that special place
for it always seems to
enliven you
You find in it
Refuge,
Solace,
Serenity,
And these tell you that
another day is worth living
liked it? well, i did. i don’t actually care if you do, but if i can get comments or whatever, it would really help.
thanks!
