you said i was just hallucinating
you said i was just a child in the dark
you said i was going to my own purgatory
well the tour bus man was nice enough about that
when did mahtma wither away
in his elegy why did they potray me
with a suffocating smile
and a greasy euphemism
you blazoned my darkness embezzeled
my deepness told me
i am just a child in the dark

HEY but i've got my own oil now
and these new eyes,they see a translucent foe
and my torched bright shoulders have learned to
move on
so it's a step for me, my impregnated spirit
i am being born, i am being born
with a new chapter
i've laughed at your presence
i am my own sage now
i have my own oil now

I am a little confused by your poem. The words you use are too complicated I think.

This was great! I liked it alot. I do have a couple of thoughts for you. 1) You didn't Capitalize at the beginning of your Lines....*just a tiny thing*
2) I didn't like the line:
well the tour bus man was nice enough about that

Could we loose the about that?

3) Your meter is not the same throughout this piece. It makes it difficult to read.

These are just minor flaws and can easily be smoothed out. Great job!

yeah well i noticed i didnt capitalized.. but i dont usually capitalize most things...anyways that wasnt my best poem.. it was kind of "i-was-so-bored-i-wrote-a-half-assed-poem" sorta thing....i could have done better if i tried a little harder...
