Renegade Rogue,
Encouraged by reprisal.
Love is replaced by lust.
Feelings are considered over-rated.
And I,
I am always expendable...

So confidant while in the act,
Yet you seek reprieve soon after.
Such an inept person...
Why is it so hard to place the appropriate feelings with the corresponding person?

Please, liberate me from this iron grip.
So sick of being held captive by your selfish purposes.
Though, am I as equally to blame?
Consciously allowing you to satiate your revenge.

Foolish hopes and false desires,
Crushed with just a quick swipe of your tongue
Leaving me laying helpless,
Choking on my hearts own shards.
But you,
You remain unaltered.
Just clean your hands and walk away...
On to your next victim.


(Ya, I know...it's a "eh..." nothing great....Oh well, I feel better. HaHa. Tis all that matters I guess...Have fun, tear it to shreds.)

Post from Jesa?!  Wow... this really is my lucky day, eh??  

Okay... I'm going to give you my critique.  I'm in critique mode again... so here goes:

Well, first of all, do I know who it's about?  I think I have a clue... grudge-filled poems are always the best, eh?

The first line alone is filled with bitterness.  Using the word "rogue" alone says a lot.  Very strong word to use, there.

Feelings are considered over-rated.
And I,
I am always expendable...

I love the way you put metre to poetry that has no rhyme whatsoever.  The repitition here with I makes that stronger, and makes the bitterness more evident.  I like that.

So confidant while in the act,
Yet you seek reprieve soon after.
Such an inept person...
Why is it so hard to place the appropriate feelings with the corresponding person?

Man, whoever this poem is written for is really getting it.  These are very strong lines.  I like the question... places more emphasis and power on exactly the way you're feeling.

Please, liberate me from this iron grip.
So sick of being held captive by your selfish purposes.
Though, am I as equally to blame?
Consciously allowing you to satiate your revenge.

I love the language you use in your poetry.  It always makes for an interesting read.  (in a good way).  It's evident when your muse really comes alive   These lines tell me how maybe you're feeling dumb for falling for it.  For sticking with it for so long... sorry if I'm way off track.  This is just my interpretation...

Foolish hopes and false desires,
Crushed with just a quick swipe of your tongue
Leaving me laying helpless,
Choking on my hearts own shards.

These lines are by far my favorite in the poem.  "Crushed with just a quick swipe of your tongue"... that really says how one word really can change everything.  The only critique I have here, is you say "leaving me" and then only a few lines later, you say "you remain".  Those are a little contradictory, but I only mentioned it because I need something to critique, and am finding that pretty difficult

But you,
You remain unaltered.
Just clean your hands and walk away...
On to your next victim.

Then ending is just as strong as the rest of the poem, and really sums up your feelings.  It comes to a complete end... the cycle continues with someone else.  Strong.

I really liked this, Jesa.  It's a joy reading your work, you share it very seldom.  But I'm glad some good came out of this situation... you got good poetry out of it

I really enjoyed this.  Post more... soon... *hugs*

Jeeze, Jesa. Amazing piece of writing here. I am so damn buzzed out right now but this is a wowish piece. Your usage of such colourful words really brings the piece alive! I love what you've done with the bold and italics. Nice work of the HTML code there, chicka. It shows a different side to it. If they weren't bold, I probably would have missed them in my state.

Rage pieces are totally kick ass and you pull them off with such a magical power each and every time. The amount of passion that goes into them is exceedingly good. You should be proud of your angry pieces. In fact, you should be proud of all your pieces. Happy pieces are so overrated. It's only a matter of time before they come crashing down to reality and discover it sucks just as much as everything else does. OK I'm going off track a little *thinks* but yeah, wonderful piece. I'm so proud of you! *wipes away a tear* hahahaha...oiy...

Stopping now. Just know that I love it and it rocks and you're a great writer!

Ok here I am as promised.


~So confidant while in the act,

Ooh Jesa.. I really feel this here. so very honest. Right in your face....like...hello? Just make up your mind and run with it, you fickle piece of...*mumble* hehe sorry.


~Please, liberate me from this iron grip.

Dang straight. It's like you get so angry at the other person and you feel so used, but in this sudden light, you see you have fault for letting it happen. You feel so much blame suddenly, because you allowed yourself to be put in that position. grrr if you can't tell I relate well.

You know I can just put your feelings right where they stem from. Just see this occurring. In the end Jesa...make it what makes you happy. Release yourself from the "iron grip". You'll feel better

GREAT work at displaying your emotion.

I am not a terrific poet, so when I read the posts here, I'm reading more for the feeling behind it, than for the technique used.

Yours is certainly one of a kind. Well, all I can say is, free yourself from this person!!! You might feel terrible at first, but the freedom will soon take over the sadness. Don't let him hurt you anymore.

And yeah, I agree with you... Just posting a poem here makes one feel so much better, it doesn't really matter if it is being ripped apart.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll do personal replies later... I just wanted to make a quick note to say  that to those of you who "think they know" what it's about...may be right to an extent...However, it's actually a cross between 2 people...pulling bits and pieces from both sides to make one....AND lets remember that this "poem" was written while I was incredibly pissed and hurt...After long thoughts and blah I've realized that one person is never solely to blame...I have another "poem" in the works right now that is focusing ALOT on me and my darling manipulative ways...However it's incomplete at the moment...In due time folks...In due time.
