Full of Lies

Some say I’m a broken soul,
Some say I am a sweetie.
But the truth is I’m just not whole.
It’s like I’m broken down and covered in graffiti.

A happy little girl with curly hair,
became quickly disturbed
at the thought life was so unfair.
It was then my thoughts were curved.

At the age of seven,
Thinking I was too young,
They simply told me he died and went to heaven.
And in the lies I was hung.

My grandfather had chose to die,
And I had to find that out myself
Only a day after my parent’s terrible lie.
That’s when I knew my heart had to be emptied and put on a shelf.

Like a little piggy bank,
I dumped out all my passion and all my feelings.
Then my tiny broken heart just sank.
I could no longer feel all the ridiculous dealings.

I lived my life hating everything and everyone,
And punching whatever was in my way.
I felt as though my empty heart weighed a ton
At twelve I contemplated suicide each and every day.

I hated those people I lived with,
They didn’t even know me.
They thought my stories were just a myth,
Nor did they care to see.

Hating all that was alive,
Became the only passion I had.
And with all my hatred I didn’t have to strive.
And this whole world still makes me mad.

I wish I could write you a happy ending,
But then that too would be a lie.
And completely life bending
So honestly I wont even try.

    Hmm, I'm sorry that happened to you really.

    All in all a decent poem, although the word choice seems akward and forced to meet the requirements of your rhyme.

    I have read this over and over trying to undeerstand just what it is you are trying to say.
    Your whole life seems to revolve around a lie that was told to you when you were 7 yrs. old
    Then I got to wondering just what I ( or any of you out there ) could have told your 7 yr. old child that her Grandfather had just committed suiside. Explaining how he had killed himself to a 7 yr. old.

    The poem was very well written I love rhyming poems
    There was a couple places that seemed a little forced.
    still a good poem and is an excellent piece for the option "DARK"
    Good luck in the contest and thanks for entering.

    Hope with God's Blessing you can soon get your life together.

    A very interesting piece here. I can relate to such anger and hate. I'm feeling that there is more to this poem. It seems unfinished. But I congratulate you on your honesty here.
    Thank you for sharing this.
    Great write.
    Good luck in the contest.

    This poem has patential..It seems like you're trying to let your feelings out, but it still seems like it's holding back. Also, in the line "At twelve I contemplated suicide each and every day." I think the word "Contemplate" is too big of a word for it..It ruins the flow.

    Good luck in the contest!

    I can see why hearing that your grandpa committed suicide would be distressing and I'm sorry you had to find out so young. This is a well thought out poem though I suggest you don't put so much rhyming. There's nothing wrong with rhyme but it's very difficult to make it sound natural. Some rhymes seemed a bit forced, so next time, just let your emotions flow, forget about rhyming patterns and just write!
    Never the less, this was a great and honest piece, and I'm glad you got your feelings out in a healthy way, through poetry.

    Thanks for entering and Good Luck!
