There are many things
things to tell
Fully powered,or broken
things that dwell
But confessions,you see
bring you back to the moment
you must re-live it
to get it spoken
maybe i would say
but it's not worth the tears
to look back upon
all the wasted years
Time that i
Can never get back
vomitting a childhood
that god's blessing lacked
i sit before you
day after day
reciting perky verses
turning fear into a game
you wonder where to go
thinking there is more
than the tear-streaked face
of a defeated whore
Confessions,You see
are in this game
I can resist them
you resist me the same
Confessions,you wonder
are there any,if fog clears
there are many lurking,i reply
In the debris of wasted years
.x
Author notes
i sigh,wondering how else to say that i'm sorry it should've been better

Great Write
an amazing piece.... i love the short stanzas, hit the point cold and hard. Seems like you definatly did get something 'out' when you wrote this... i definatly hope so...i like this in a dark kind of way. Very sad, for your loss of innocence in your childhood. I share the same feelings, but i am not someone here to tell you i know your feelings.. cuz they are all different...
'wasted years' that is definatly a title i would use if i had to rewrite another piece about this... because that is all it seems... but i dont know...
thanks for sharing this beautiful piece
you deserved the silver! Great job!

to look back upon
all the wasted years
first i love this through and through and when the contest is over im going to bookmark it
the wasted years is a song by one of my favorite bands and i have a quote on my page "theres nothing left but wasted years"
and this sums up how i feel about everything-i relate so well to your poem is set me back-its beautifully tragic and its now a top finalist♥

Thank you so much =] The wasted years is an awsome song....you like maroon five,too? if we're both thinking about the same song,but i'm guessing so,because there can't be that many songs with the same name.Thank you for adding me to the finalist list;it's so flattering,you're one of my favorite authors on ap =]

"you wonder where to go

this is very raw poetry, very honest...and I think many people can look back and see 'wasted years'...I can relate
