What I needed to say second draft

Life never stops changing a new surprise
ready to greet you everyday
The onion crowded meatloaf suppertime
feast you create that's my ''favorite''
really isn't

The cloud of black seems to gnaw at my
nervous system
It's annoying when you poke me,
I only laugh to lighten the mood

I don't have money, means I don't
want to waste it on this
LOVE is an arrangement of lines
creating a word insignificant in my life
If I don't say it seriously,
I seriously don't mean it

Friends, no matter the gender have mentally
bombed me, sending my trust parachuting,
falling, and faltering

My violence is a reoccuring issue
all I want is for someone to know
I'm alive

I respect and charish my sometimes uneventful
life, I get angry when you don't
appriciate yours

After too many restless nights,
too many wrong turns, I finally
found and experienced pure happiness,
overwhelming joy

Have you?

  2. This poem really makes you think which is a good aspect to have. I agree with Kari-the positive ending at the end helps the balance. Nice job!

  3. this sounds like a random arrangement of different things you needed to say. maybe id connect them a little bit more.......... but otherwise the poem is amazing.
