So you stared down on me...
Now all you can do is frown on me.
You exist, but I've lost respect.
I'm your loneliest defect.
I'm your tiniest insect.
I'm your permanant reject!
So you watched as I crumbled!
That was my day and my time to shine!
So you watched as I stumbled!
And you expect me to feel fine!
You exist, I earn respect!
To cure my defect I need a catalyst!
I'm just an insect,
But I'm the most confident reject!
So when it was time for everyone to choose brains...
You gave me nothing but pains!
A world of migraines!
A universe of entangled lines!
You exist, but I've learned not to respect...
Something that won't lend an ear to their defect!
I'm an insect...
But I don't mind being your reject!
Created and Crossed.
Bought and tossed.
Unjustly bossed,
and now you wonder why it's confidence I've lost?!
Lord be with you
But only when you're a living legend!
Savior to a few,
Give the rest of us a quick end!
Grain to gold.
Water to wine.
I feel so cold,
This body is mine!
You exist, but I've no respect.
Opportunity missed. I'm the unsightly defect.
I'm that battered insect.
I'm your flattered reject!!

wow...
you can really write poems. i like this one a lot. -

Thank you.
If I was a tiny bit more musically inclined I'd have loved to become some sort of musician, but I don't have the voice for it really. Though maybe eventually I can some sort of lyrical job on the side of whatever I become inside the next decade. Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you like it. -

yeah your welcome.
i love doing music based things. but you can really write poems. i noticed it had a music kind of a base to it. hopefully you can get a lyrical job cause you are very good at it. =) -

Heheh, Besides four close friends and something said by my mom this is probably the most praise I've gotten for a poem,I really am grateful. -

Yeap
I'm gonna stop the string of comments on my end 'cause I have some stuff I've got to attend to, but yes. It's really very rare that someone who knows me very little or not at all will comment something I haven't entered into a contest on this site- So I really am thankful for the comment and encouragement. Two friends and favorites of mine are AngieMarie and DeathsSweetKiss
Both quite different in style, approach and topic from each other and myself, and neither know each other- but I find good things to say about lots of what they write- figure you might too.
