Runaway Baby

You can't tell, but I'm screaming inside.
So rip me open and make me cry.
Tell me how much you hate me and how closed off I am.

Run away like all the others.
Don't bother trying anymore.
(It's just not worth your time.)

Call me a .w.h.o.r.e, and a bit.ch, and a liar.
Go ahead, runaway baby.
I won't even force you to stay here.

I never liked you.
No, not at all.
(Can you here the lying whispers in my voice?)

[Suddenly,]
Things stop.
You're long gone by now.
Time has passed and I haven't changed any.

Too many boys have tried to rip me open.
And too many boys have failed.
Go ahead Kids,

Just keep running away.

Author notes

Inspired by the first 2 lines.

Wahoo. This one's not as bad.. I guess.

Not so personal either.

    i like the choppy flow of the poem as well as the format. it was really interesting and unlike anything that i have ever read before. i liked the creativity you use with your poetry since some is not really personal. i can't do that. all of my poetry is something that was set off in my mind after an emotional outburst or something.
