I am nothing close to abomination from within A lamentation's brew heated and boiling into a spill Wretched and confined into reality's discriminations Am I the demon that deserves eternal punishment? Or am I just that of misfortune's best friend "Why must I ask for forgiveness for all my sins," I ask myself? Should I? Knowing that... In end's time compassions hand is easily at reach And I still do. Discounting all the untouched questions, I honestly do And still, I weep alone... I persistently fold myself into a corner hoping no one sees my grief Lucky is the walking dead, I say For he, though alone, is at least unscathed by human's weakness Numb to that of his surroundings... The only envy of life's hurting people Such blatant expressions I know I've said I've kept these confined in my soul all this time. Not knowing how much longer I can stay dormant Not knowing when I shall erupt and unleash such motility I just have to let it out For they are far worse... Far worse than running nails on a chalkboard It has totally driven me close to insanity A knock in the doors of the Omega So, bare with me as I cast loose my Demons All that of your consideration and not of pity As I wage war against Ares A battle in Euterpe a fight I can't win a fight already lost I too wait in time for Eros Hear my voice... head my call I beg as I sit on this old, squeeking wooden chair Hoping one day that the arrow shot from his bow carries my name Hoping that the hunter's eye is not blurred by time, For missing in not an option given Hoping it hits me straight where it matters the most Like that of patriots Hoping the arrow hits me straight in the heart Yes..., Straight in the heart For this, nothing else..., I know is more than destiny And I am here to claim what is rightfully mine ... Here to claim what belongs to me and to noone else Here to once again... "Love Myself" |

I love the ending statement best of all. You know I don't care much for most free verse though... it's nothing personal against this poem it's just free verse in general. It gave me a limited capacity of enjoyment in reading this. Still probably a good poem, but it's hard for me to tell very well y'know. Keep on posting for us, man. Let's see something recent! ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

This was very powerful and written quite well!! But, just so that you know, the font made it kinda difficult to read, so maybe use another one next time. ~*Nikki*~ ~*Of all the millions of people in the world, I'm just me.*~ |

Acire, a totally big wow goes out to you buddy. For that piece, you deserve a jellybean. I loved the way you wove the Gods into it. You are one talented little muffin, boy-o. You should be extremely proud of this amazing creation. My hat goes off to you. ~AF~ Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity was framed. |

You did well on this one acire, but you never cease to amaze me with just how much you like to piss me off with that cursive writing haha....Always takes me a decade to read each line! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

This is an impressive display of your talent, acire. My favorite lines: "Discounting all the untouched questions, I honestly do And still, I weep alone..." VERY powerful... I loved this. Thanks for reposting it! Most impressive. Another one for my library. Excellent work. --Marie "You're the girl of my nightmares, |

*is blown away by the words of a toona* wow...this is awesome..it left me quite breathless for sumtime....did you know that your words could have that effect?..you could have killed me y'know.. but on the serious side of things i have to say that im impressed with it-truly! you write so eloquently its kind of hard to imagine that it came from "the toona" I've kept these confined in my soul all this time. Not knowing how much longer I can stay dormant Not knowing when I shall erupt and unleash such motility i think those are the lines i could most relate to-repressing feelings only causes more and more frustrations..*shakes head sadly* but i have to be honest with you- i found it really hard to follow at first- i dont know maybe your sentences are too complex for a simple-minded person such as i and the flow of the poem was a bit higgeldy piggeldy but apart from that its wonderful!!!! thank you for the brilliant read toona...you've managed to score another "agpfagp" abbreviation from me... |

Acire, I never saw this one in Teen #3, but I missed out, this was amazing. One of the best I have read in the time that I have been with this group. The cursive is horrible to read though.It's in my library. Jon "Your anger is a gift"-Rage Against The Machine |

this is INCREDIBLE. I love this: "As I wage war against Ares A battle in Euterpe" because of the strength in the allusions. Great work, really great! "so when at times the mob is swayed to carry praise or blame too far, we may choose something like a star" --Frost |
