Guess who decided to post again? HeHeHe...Tis I! Jesa the Great! I got bored late last night, what can I say?
It's really not that hard to understand (Though I can explain if needed), it's not too long, and it even has a bit of a rhyme scheme going on...Oh the humanity! So ya, here ya go...


Misplaced pieces of me.

Laconic heart, demented mind
Misplaced pieces of me.
Abandoned feelings, relentless purgatory
A tawdry human being.
Seething fists, beguiling eyes
My corpse of vitality.
Slaughtered hopes of crushed desires
I'm heaved into reality.
Vacant souls, such paltry emotions
Surrounded by shades of blue.
A fluttering tongue reflects sombrous pride...
And it's all attributed to you.



Every now and then I like to stick my foot in my mouth...

Pretty good poem for someone who was bored! It speaks of rage...anger...it flows nicely.

Here...I shall add words with the same meaning in parenthesis.. ( LOL- I break out the thesaurus now when I write...I'm like "Quiet...Hmm.... OH! LACONIC!"

Laconic (Quiet, few words)heart, demented (Crazy) mind
Misplaced pieces of me.
Abandoned feelings, relentless purgatory
A tawdry (Cheap) human being.
Seething (mad) fists, beguiling (Lying) eyes
My corpse of vitality (Life/energy)).
Slaughtered hopes of crushed desires
I'm heaved into reality.
Vacent souls, such paltry (trivial...meaningless) emotions
Surrounded by shades of blue.
A fluttering (To move out of nervousness...in otherwords-scared) tongue reflects sombrous (Gloomy,  pride...
And it's all attributed to you.


In summary...
Because of the actions and being of this supposed "you" at the end I have completely lost who I was...hence the line "Misplaced pieces of me." Everything about me has changed... I feel dead on the inside, yet I'm functioning as if I were alive on the outside... ("Corpse of vitality") I feel cheap, I'm depressed...None of my feelings or emotions matter...I'm just the empty soul wandering in the never ending hell of my feelings and emotions that I am too afraid to speak of...This person has abused my trust and hurt me so bad by his actions and words that I've realized that all my hopes ...basically everything I thought *I* stood for, everything I though *WE* stood for was a complete joke/lie- And by that I was just given this huge reality hit...All my dreams were shattered and this is what happens to me when I've been hurt....I just crumble and crawl into myself...Yep...

So thats about it...I hope I helped the TINIEST bit...Glad to know someone would take enough interest to ask...Means alot- Thanks Cherish! *Huggles*

Yeah I could tell this wasn't really your usual vocabulary, but it does work well within your poetry. A poem well expressed. I enjoyed it much.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Well. Now right there, wow. I relate very much.Doesn't reality suck so friggin much?! Oi. I liked this a lot. I'm usually a vocab/english freak, but even *I* was lost on some of it   Thanks for the explanation though.

I thought an explanation wasn't really needed
The poem was very self explanatory
This is a shocker though Jesa
I never thought you had such a grasp of the English Vocabulary
I'm more than impressed  
Excellent write

Spice,

This is really good. I do have to admit that I'm glad you posted the summary though. Unfortunately, I too feel misplaced a lot. I hope you find yourself soon.

Personal Thankyou's...

Domzi- Hmm...A new name to me. Hi!   Thanks for the compliment...Yes, a bit of rage....But mostly pain and desperation I guess...

Zukene_Chic- LOL, I know how ya feel...There are a few poets here that can always express themselves so well...and I'm always soo jealous. LOL, glad to know you thought I did a good job. Means alot.  

Sky- YA! I Posted! HaHA, Yep, late night is the best. *Huggles* Thanks for readin.

Cherish- I already praised you for probing the poem...what more do you want? LOL...Thanks as always! You always give such awesome support.

Angel- Thanks, Endings can make or break a good write...Glad to know mine was done well in your eyes.

Dopey_Dope- Actually, some of it was my vocabulary...And no, not just the "A" and "The" parts of it... Thanks for taking the time to read and reply. I was suprised.

Jenn- I'm curious to know if you and I are in the same situation...Cause alot of your poetry is speaking to me as you could relate to mine...Odd. Perhaps we should talk? LOL. Anyway, Glad you liked!

Acire-   Must you make me do this -->   ?  Whatcha mean though? How can a poem be self explanitory but still need an explanation? Oh how you baffle me! But thanks so much on the praise! *Huggles*

Shugar- You know me...All about the dark and sad ones...

Alby- Awww, thanks deary! *Huggles* Glad I could write something you could relate to...

Dawn- Thanks for the encouragement...Hope all is gets better with you as well...feeling misplaced is horrible.

DQ- Perhaps we shall call ourselves hate "Mysterious Mamas!" MUWahaha...  But ya, I can't stand it when people post more than a-2 poems a week.. So I try not to but but maybe 2 times a month...maybe 3 if I'm feeling creative...I did however read one of your poems the other day and LOVED it... Twas on my level...You are an awesome writer. Hope to see more.

Jon- Dude!   I replie to your poem the other day, and when I went back to it..It was gone! WTF? Where'd it go?   ANYWAY, glad ya liked it man....Between you and Cheri and Alby and Acire I always know I'll have a reply to my poem..no matter how crappy it is...Thanks for the support man and hope to see more from you as well!

Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.

Hey wow-this was good!!  It's really dark, and deep, and sad...But it's a feeling I, unfortunately, can totally relate to..Every once in a while it's refreshing to see something written by somebody else that I relate to completely, because then I know I'm not the only one in the world that feels that way..Yea, this piece was like that 4 me...So anwyays, good job, and I hope you feel better!

I'm reading this back and looking at the explanation and wondering whether this was written about me or not......well.....is it?
I am also reading this poem and seeing a lot of your talent. Seriously, I would have never believed that this was yours if I look back on the YOU you were back in the old days...when u were 13. Yep yep, I knew you way back then, amazing, isn't it?
You have blossomed into this profound being that speaks with a vernacular better than I (thank you webster's! lol).
I am just amazed at the person you've become. You truly amaze me, truly.
I can't help but think how deep of a person you are, and it bothers me that all these kids in your school just think of you as some fun, pervy girl who's a blast to be with and not also as this great mind who thinks and perceives the world for what it truly is. You're getting closer and closer to this level of mind that I am just happy to say I know you.....it's a honor, indeed.

You amaze me....the poem amazes me....well done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Aww...My eyes watered reading the damn poem over again...HAdn't seen it in ages.

*Huggles* Thank you for the compliments, you have no idea how much it means to me.
LOL, and ya, thank Webster's for the awesome vocabulary..LOL. And you can't blame the kids at school...Thats the only way I act around them...Though Holls ha been begging to read my "poetry"...I think I might even let her...who knows. LOL, 13....Was it 13? It was 7th or 8th grade...I can't remember now....12 or 13 would be right. But how old was I though to be? LMAO.... Oh well, the maturity level is still at an alltime low...Just the boobs and butt have gotten bigger.  

As for what the poem was about....Actually a mixture of things, You of course had a huge play in it as did my father....Alot of factors contributed to the write though...But ya, You and Dad probably had the biggest chunks. It just seems that you are the two people that can slip up in the most trivial ( ANd some VERY un-trivial)ways, and yet have a huge impact on me for quite some time after.
But I'm glad you liked it, I'm glad you bumped it up so that I could read it again, and I'm glad I can still amaze you from time to time.  


Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to

Jesa!  

Wow... this was so beautiful.  The vocabulary and language throughout the poem makes it just that much better.  Thanks for the explination.  Half the words I didn't quite understand either, but after reading your explination, and reading it through again a few more times, I really connected with it.  I thought the way you described being lost was magnificent.  The descriptions really put me in your shoes, and gave me chills more than once.

This is a short piece, but that's good.  It need not be long... it's power is evident.  More than evident.  You really threw your emotions out there on this.  Beautiful..

I must say, I am pleased that this was brought back up.  Your poetry being some of the first I read on my first days back is a very nice welcome back surprise  

Again, this is fantastic piece.  Your writing has grown in such a way.  You should be extremely proud of this one.  Oh, and what was that in your reply to Javi... putting your poetry in quotes?  *shakes head*  If I could only make you see what a writer you are...

Well, anywho, very beautiful work.  Post more, darnit!
