Okay first off, this is MUCH like the song "Place for my head" by Linkin Park.  I got a copy of the lyrics and tried to make my words fit.  I'd like to say that NONE of what I'm posting is taken directly from the song, I checked!!  ......

I watch how the sun shines
In the bright sky burning in the early dawn
The sun doesn’t have mercy assuming
The morning deserves this one
It makes me think of what you do to me
I leave you alone
Then rapidly you turn around and stab me
Running back for me
I’m sick of the hatred
Sick of the filth
Sick of you acting like I’m less than you
Find someone else to take my place
While I get a chance to breathe

You need to go to another place
I hate when you say you don’t think I can
I want to be with some decency
Not your hypocrisy
You wish I was dead

Maybe one day I’ll be just like you
Stab people just like you and
Hurt all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then when I thought
You used to be decent, used to be respectable
But I was so wrong
You should’ve known I’d
See right through you
Now you see how horrible I am
When I know
I’m so sick of the hatred
Sick of the filth
Sick of you acting like I’m less than you
Find someone else to take my place
While I get a chance to breathe

You need to go to another place
I hate when you say you don’t think I can
I want to be with some decency
Not your hypocrisy
You wish I was dead

You try to feed these lies to me
Go away
You try to feed these lies to me
GO AWAY

I’m so sick of the hatred
Sick of the filth
Sick of you acting like I’m less than you
Find someone else to take my place
While I get a chance to breathe

Bel, I really enjoyed this. My favorite were the repeated lines throught the poem. (or Song?)
Anyway- I thought you re-wrote the song well. It was very powerful. Filled with emotion. Nice job.

The repetition in this piece gave a great affect, this piece was very strong.  I agree with your comment, moving on is definitely the best way to go.  Thought it is not always the easiest way to go.  Great write.

I liked the poem. Thought you did fine...might as well be called a song since it's in the style of one, right?

I like this one alot! I think it turned out very good. I could totally hear Linkin Park in my mind while I read it. This part kicked ass!

Great job. I think this one turned out excellent.

WOO!! Isabel, you rock! Like the guy up there said (sorry I forgot your name..), you can actually sing it to the music, and it fits perfectly. As a fellow LP fanatic, I must say, you definitely do them justice!

THIS TOTALLY ROCKS! *has song stuck in her head* I like the way you used the lyrics to inspire you. That song rocks. Keep Writing!
