Part 1: Burden off their Shoulders
Weep and cry and pray I die
and you can't deny the mourning and suffer just like no other
when you see the terrible me that my two
idoled figures portay me to be.
What can I do but obey and stay
and hang on their every word while
waiting for that peaceful "BANG" to go through
my head, but instead, I must fret, let us not forget,
that I am their one and only -
keeping them not so loney.
Oh, the humiliation! What a burden I seem
in the eyes of those who dreamed of a better child,
not one so wild and uncontrollable.
I have met my toll of tears and fears.
Such a decision I have to make. So I break my
thoughts and inherit their own for yelling is done
when they don't like my tone. I can never be best,
never high above the rest just like they want me to be.
I taunt myself for it is how I was raised, never praised.
Just criticized for my demise.
What a goal to be seen perfect in their eyes.
That is something I can never achieve
and confirmation is what I recieve
for what I believe is so negative about myself.
Pushing me down and kick me around
for their own little games and call me names.
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
Mine eyes have been so sore
from the cries that they don't deserve!
A curve from lips is what they'll get,
but nothing, yet, is still set for the revenge
that I will throw their way. To watch it grow
while I laugh in mine glory, not theirs!
Victory will be for me.
When it comes down to their word
against my story.
Part 2: Burden's Death
Watch as I lay here
in the hands of a greater power
as I wait for my last hour. For that final minute, final second,
final moment that beakons for my soul.
This is out of my self-control
--or so it seems--
for everything has changed;
rapidly rearranged in strange and
confusing means.
This is too much.
A scream of pain, a blood-red stain
so visible to the nake eye, making
millions ask "Why?" For they do
not know about this girl's life,
of all the strife that was faced, and knives
that were placed at her wrists; fists around
the handle. Sitting alone under the flame
of a single candle. This was her cure.
She was sure that her life would be better.
What a fool. Such a tragedy. Her last words,
"Thank you for having me.
I know I wasn't your first choice.
Annoyed by the pitch of my voice.
Blaming me for materials gone amiss.
Accussing me of ignorance just
because I had bliss. . .
Pull on the trigger and be rid
of your burden.
I am just a kid, they won't miss me.
Don't you see, what you have finally done to me?
Laying in bed, drenched in sweat,
Sticky with blood. A vision you won't soon forget.
Take a picture and remember
this face as my last surrender.
You've won the whole war
plus every battle fought before.
I'm tired of trying for it will never
enough.
Take this as my Goodbye Forever

- Poetry is an odd medium; it gives a person a chance to vent emotion, but emotion can't be it. It's difficult to rate poetry because of this. Be careful in how literal the poem feels. Emotion rooted in intellect is important. Too much of the former and not enough of the latter is a bad thing.
