I wish the words inside my head
would scream out on the page
drop themselves dead for all the fed-
the never hungry,
never found themselves in a cage
with just some sage-
a bit of knowledge,be free when gone to college,
they're all naives,they don't know this pain!
this frame,being so tame...
i wish my thoughts would tear me apart,
no more burden around to cart,
just let it rip let it tear,
take me to pieces i don't care!
the agony i would feel is better than nothing,
it's better than experiences-the meagersome fair,
the pillow smothers,
suck my lungs of all the air...
i know so little,
always playing second fiddle
always in the fucking middle
always shy always nice
you've no idea how i hate you people-
think you're better, never the beggar
always the careless better
chains are always unfettered-
freedom is never free,
power,knowledge comes with a fee;
all i know is in a book
in my head, and real life?
i never looked!
i don't want to be here
don't want to cheer you worthless f ucks
don't want to dwindle in the muck
i want to upchuck the bullshit
and slam the door shut
never wanted to be here
always wanted to get out
away from the mirror always near
scream and shout and run south,
want to feel,want to fear
want to take the road that shreds my heart dear,
want to jump out of my skin and break the glass
the mold of the mass and stupidity sheer apart
cut apart the garbage fast
make the arrogant be abashed
and make humility last
someday the world i'd like to quest,
take the time to get my feet wet,
let life ruin me like all the rest
and get the pillow off my chest-
stillness is smothering even when
from my face the pillow is only hovering,
i can not sit and let it be acovering,
and i do not wish for recovery
from real life from what may happen
or from my energy sappen
i want to drown in agony
let my skin scream
lift the protection of my direction
be given the wheel so i can let go
let myself be thrown by my selection
and all derelections,
let the shy girl fly
and hope all the bullshit will die

Your words are sceaming out on the page and that is turned into the thoughtful poetry my friend..and that is the magic a poet does...very well done poetry once again..thanks for sharing it..
-
Great job... If I ever need to rage out, or if I ever want to walk down memory lane with the pissed off teenager that I was a few years ago, this is the poem I'd do it with.
Forgive me for saying though, but your rhyming scheme is a little messed up... you try too hard to make the ends of your lines rhyme so when they inevitably can't the poem starts to lose momentum and feel jerky; but that's just my opinion. -
Great!! Amazing!! Loved this piece!!Loved the emotion!! Loved the rhyming!!
Strong, deep And I can relate to this piece....also why I lykd it so much. Thankyou for sharing this write. And absolutly great work on it! -
Loved the way the npoem expresses what all of us feel sometime or the other. Excellent

Very powerful, so full of anger and fear and wow, I need to catch my breath here because that was quite a ride! Your rhyming is unforced and the poems flows really well, and your message is one that will speak to many readers. Excellent job!
