murderer

let's say the trigger tried to frame me
Or it was showing me it could run
Before walking
blood spilled but not by my own hands
It was the metal bird

What if the mistake tripped on me
Fell through clouds on someone real
The emergency bell will ring
and I'll have to run

Spin the bottle then fall asleep
imagine the rest to the soon coming lips
if you could do that then you can fill in the hole
that's in your stomach
everything can be the same if you can replace the truth
Nothing has to happen if I didn't shoot you

the four leaf clovers turn to three when I'm near
I don't believe in god's help but I need cracks in reality
so I can break it down and rest somewhere that's not here
I expect soon I'll be the fault in the wall
People will break me down to get to their place

To you mistakes are bigfoots that never happened
believing in them just make the weak weaker
its a human crime to think life is intentional
it'll happen in me and in you
the mistakes that breathe live in any mood

The pump in my blood happens on its own
the sky is blue cause it says so
I'm not a murderer for fun its just life's accent
it changes me inside for a reaction unwanted

I'll run like your blood
until all is forgotten

    wow....thats all i can say wow this peom is really good.... and deep....kinda like te cuts on my wrists....

  • the four leaf clovers turn to three when I'm near

    i reread this three times. those are my favorite lines, though the whole thing is beautiful.
    the only thing i'd change is that each stanza seems unconnected. however, it lends an interesting sort of collage feel to it, so maybe it doesn't need changing.

    well done poet; i think my favorite verse of which there were many:
    Spin the bottle then fall asleep
    imagine the rest to the soon coming lips
    if you could do that then you can fill in the hole
    that's in your stomach
    everything can be the same if you can replace the truth
    Nothing has to happen if I didn't shoot you

    it's an interesting concept....
    and I gotta tell ya...until you've had a gun pointed to your head...

    all the sudden the b.s disappears
    and you get real honest!

    Your metaphors were very creative, but the word "brake" was irking me a little. "Break" is what happens when you bend a twig in half or toss a mirror down a flight of steps.
    A "brake" is what you use to stop a car.
    Beyond my grammar-nazi-ism, the beauty of this poem shines through. It's almost a refusal of the truth or refusal of blame...or maybe even a refusal of reality.
    It gives the reader much to consider.

    so I can brake it down and rest somewhere that's not here
    I expect soon I'll be the fault in the wall
    People will brake me down to get to their place
    - shouldnt it be 'break' here??
    anyways...kinda nice write...

  • I like how you've done this. Like others have already said I can't pick out a favorite line.
    You have several that stays with me. Good luck in the contest.

    wow, this is great! the emotions are so beautiful and came across so powerful. i especially love the lines
    the four leaf clovers turn to three when I'm near
    I don't believe in god's help but I need cracks in reality
    very very well written. great job

  • 'Nothing has to happen if I didn't shoot you' you have changed from presant day to past tense in that one sentance,


    I fail to see how that matters..Because generally if nothing happened in the past it cant effect today, so this makes perfect sence to me..anyway..lol.. I really liked this write. I thought it was very well penned :0)

      I think the point of changing the tenses was to say, "I'm going to act like it didn't happen so I will not be to blame."

    'Nothing has to happen if I didn't shoot you' you have changed from presant day to past tense in that one sentance,
    'accent' is meant to be 'accident' I think as well that you could re-phrase this
    'if you could do that then you can fill in the hole
    that's in your stomach' because it doesn't flow as smoothly as the rest of the poem.

    All in all the poem is a marvall, you should be proud of your write and I look forwards to reading more of your work!
    Best of luck,

    Wow. I loved this. I loved this idea this total aspect. You gave me death, but spoke more of the emotion and the moment and the feeling. You told me everything, not just there was a death. This is amazing, what i've been looking for for a long time. =] Thank you.

    Great write with good choice of words and thought-provoking lines; I definitely love the first stanza as this can pull the reader to go in-depth with this piece . . .

    . . . but it might get lost somewhere in the middle or maybe it's just me. I got lost at the fifth stanza but hey, something for me to chew on

    All in all, this is a good piece: shows the persona's point of view descriptively in lovely words and the impact can leave the reader quite impressed

  • I don't think I can add more praise than is already worthily heaped upon this piece, for it is one of intense raw emotion, and deep feeling. Well Done.

    Wow...

    This poem was amazing in the imagery and depth. It was well constructed giving off both feelings of contemplation and indifferenece to the situation. Lots of emotion and very deep.

    I think every teenager has felt this way at some point in their life, I know I did. And even growing into adulthood, I still do. This was very emotionally jam packed, the images were raw and real. The only thing I would change is perhaps work on punctuation and grammar a bit, and there are a couple of spelling errors.. but no big deal, my poems are filled with them too.

    everything can be the same if you can replace the truth
    Nothing has to happen if I didn't shoot you


    Yes, if only we could replace the truth...

  • Great

    So sad, descriptive and deep.

    Favorite lines: the four leaf clovers turn to three when I'm near

    Wow! Amazing line!

    and..

    The pump in my blood happens on its own
    the sky is blue cause it says so

    Overall grade: 8

    Thanks for entering and nice write.

    "To you mistakes are bigfoots" -- there are lots of other good bits in here, but I like this the best. Although already mentioned, the last two lines are a great finish as well. I'm reminded of Secret Window: "I'm sure in time, her death will be a mystery even to me".

    I like your style of writing, you've got a nice way of describing things.

  • Lovely writing!

    I love this poem, indeed. There is so much imagery and poetic ways of interpretation of the "murderer." Love it, dear. Keep up the good writing!!!! Inspirational!

  • very nicely done. it's interesting and the rhyme is awesome. thank you so much for entering my contest and best of luck!

  • Interesting read.
    Kind of al over the place but I think that was intendid and you pulled it off well.

  • Very well done

    I must say this is in such depth of what ones mind often screams in times of the dark unexpalined crevisces of the mind the part no human being can decider yet it take son a hourney of its own at times leaving the human shell behind .Bravo
    I rate the title a ten
    I rate the form a ten
    I rate the write as being one with such insite

  • very powerful and well written u r a very great writier keep it up i love the metaphors and imagery!!

  • Sorry, I forget the claps

  • This piece is very well-written. This line is my favorite "the four leaf clovers turn to three when I'm near" fantastic though I hate doing this too you forget the apotheoses in "God's" I think.

  • very strong finish to this poem. well written.

    Remember to comment on everyone elses poem in the reading list please

  • BRILLIANT!

    "Let's say the trigger tried to frame me or it was showing me it could run before walking.". . . . ."The pump in my blood happens on its own the sky is blue cause it says so I'm not a murderer for fun its just lifes accent it changes me inside for a reaction unwanted. I'll run like your blood until all is forgotten." You held my attention from the beginning to the very end! I'm really slightly speechless right now! LOL! I'm astonished by your choreography of words at such an early age and early stage of you being writer! Extraordinary title, remarkable poem, vivid concept, honest, glamarous, and suberp wording! I really don't have anything to say, but I absolutley can't even imagine how good your writing will be within 3 to 5 to 10 years if you're already this good! What a powerful and thought-provoking work of art! Well crafted and brilliantly wriiten!
