Sociopath

Pretty self explanatory... This is loosely based on truth

Sociopath

A sociopath

That’s what you are

 

You don’t know how to feel

The emotions of others have no effect on you

No matter how raw

 

I’ve cried

I’ve seethed

And your expression remains cold

 

Cold heart

Cold hands

Cold soul

 

Not once

Have I seen pain in your eyes

Not once

Have I seen shame

 

Emotionless

Expressionless

Cold hearted

Sociopath

I like this concept of describing a sociopath, but, in my mind, it is not as easy for the sociopath as one would think. They cannot hold normal loving relationships, they usually find themselves in trouble because of their lack of remorse and have no real place in society.....I think the poem has more to say. I loved the rhythm, it speaks aloud well. Words like "emotionless" and "expressionless" don't sit well with me, though....even a face that never moves is an expression in and of itself, thin cold lips that sit in a straight line, and maybe something about the eyes and what emptiness lies there......nice writing

Thank you for your feedback. The poem isn't really supposed to be the description of a sociopath. It was more of a personal piece. Thanks again, and I'm lad you liked it :)

This is pretty late and months overdue, but this isn't my opinion of a true sociopath. I know what a sociopath is, I've read about plenty, I'm into all of that good stuff. This poem is about my experience with someone who labelled himself as a sociopath and how he treated me at times. This is in no way supposed to be what I think a sociopath is.

I think reading some memoirs of those deemed a sociopath would greatly deepen your understanding od their inner mind. What you are describing seems too safe and obvious. It's cool that you're looking at a risky subject & trying it out. But a little more research may help!
