DRAMA I am self-made mockery hanging strings to limb creating the drama noose around neck a Russian roulette of dreams. Self-loathing comes naturally prolific in its keep almost beautiful in its misery and I gladly play my part through the Act of this destruction. There is safety in sabotage torture makes for intrigue, challenges fuel the death when I'm close to life; So I cut my hope into pieces and red my heart as bullseye predictability is strength disappointment drowns me in blithe. Sadism is sensual bound is decadence, how good it feels to deny myself cage the urges, pent-up tiger climaxing the lips in cannibal to spike my lethargy. And, if I really wanted to I could cut the strings but I'd rather sharpen the scissors on the scathe of stubborn tears. Thin ice offers the possibility and I've never been one to pull the Band-Aid off quickly. Melissa Long-Monette Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

I love introspective pieces, they always speak truth. This has the right mixture, a little bit of cynicism and little bit of facetiousness. I love it. It's what I call a smartass. (hehehe) Thanks for sharing it! Take care, Liz...Carpe Diem

Melissa - Loved the in-depth reach of this poem but was pleased to note the emergence of strength and humour - two very good companions to have. Enjoyed! |

Learning to love one's self can truly be a challenge, especially when we choose not to see anthing loveable. You have such a fresh way of putting language together to achieve the desired effet, very intense feeling and some vivid contrasts in the imagery. I enjoyed reading! ~ Klassy |
