That's Not

I used to scream and shout inside my mind

Maybe it's just a temporary peace I've come to find

But that's not who I am anymore

You don't even know who I am anymore

So don't come around here pretending you know me

If you stick around though, in time you'll see

But I don't think I want you around anymore

Cause we used to f**k with each other

But I went home to my mother

And that's not what we do anymore

So don't call me asking for forgiveness

Cause that's not something I'll give to you anymore

I'm done with all your crazy business

It's kind of pretty, damn pathetic

And I'm done trying to be empathetic

How the f**k do you even still have my number

I lost that s**t at the end of last summer

I definitely don't want you around anymore

So don't come around me anymore

Cause that's not what we do anymore

You used to know a blonde, long-haired girl

And you used to pull her hair when she unfurled

But now my hair is short and black

And I'm done being a maniac

That's not who I am anymore

I've grown tired of being your w***e

Amazing and well written!

So glad I discovered your work! I love how your poetry is dark, but maintains a realness to it. Many writers seem to lose reality when they write on dark subjects, which can make it difficult to relate to. Your style, however, is unique and beautiful. I look forward to future literature :)

Take a look at the excerpt for Stephen Fry's, The Ode Less Traveled, on Amazon. It's a really good intro to the subject of prosody, and structured poetry, in general.
