To Concede

This midless, senseless game we play,
Should have ended, yesterday,
This shouldn't happen anyway,
I know that I should disobey.

You bind I feel is tightening now,
I've not the strength to find out how,
The sweat is dripping from my brow,
This is more than my mind will allow.

My legs are shaking from the need,
My mind, my body, should take heed,
Of the danger of this empty greed,
But I know already, I'll concede.

    Well.. you have an interesting idea that you've expressed here.

    However, I posted in my contest that I want free verse, not rhyme. I guess your eyes skipped that. I'm not a good rhyme judge since I usually avoid rhyme poetry, but "allow" sounds slightly off, probably because it has 2 syllables. Plus, you should spell check.

    Since this isn't what I asked for, I'll be removing this. Thanks for your effort though.

    Oh. This is an interesting poem that you have going on here. It is kind of sad or anxious sounding though. I'm surprised to see all the darker poems popping up again. I thought people had gotten a little happier in general but I guess not. Either way I thought you did a good job of expressing yourself here.

    good write... and a nice flow..
    but i think you should work on the rhyme, or maybe it's just because i don't usually use that rhyme scheme.
    but mainly, it's pretty nice

    Fine pooem. I can definately relate to this!!- basically, I've been a complete idiot when it comes to such things. Good flow and ryhme scheme. Clean rich and polished with a good flow.
