Burn

Burn

A Poem by Justin Miller

This is not my home
This is a house built on hurt
Materialistic walls made of wood
and built to burn
We tear, we rip, and we break
You spill the words of a liar
You gave me the matches
to strike our fire
If this Is the life we live
These four walls that keep me here
are nothing more
than my worst fears
I can't do this anymore
And if this life is worth living
then I need to know
that there can be difference
The house is on fire
But my home has been ashes
It's burning bright
To rid me of the memory as it passes

Good rhyme scheme, nice flow, good wording. Over all good job, however there is room to better improve this piece. Different phrasing and stronger wording would make this a true masterpiece. As it stands now though, its a vivid and raw yet thoroughly enjoyable piece. Good show.

Broken homes are something I can relate to. Thankyou for putting into words what I have not yet been able to bring myself to do.
