Them.

Them.

A Poem by Lookwithinsight
"

Learning lessons from the ones that hurt you.

"

I wanna be like them. All of the ones that left me behind. No, I want to be all in one.

The hazel-eyed dragon. The freckled menace. The blue-eyed kraken. The player’s apprentice.

What a perfect image, and I’m but a frame. Tell me what it takes to stake a claim, to make a name. Don’t wanna be a butt in the ashtray. Don’t wanna be the butt of jokes, the crass play. They all say, “ What? Who? We?”

I’m not worth their memory. I’ve no dignity, nothing left to lose. Everything to gain, I’ll put my neck around the noose. This time, I choose.

You're writing is very attention-holding. Nice portrayal of thoughts and emotions.

Your poetry expresses the showcase of heart-bounds wounded around the world that gives it only the pain / heartaches in disguise so, it's good to make revolutions not to get trapped inside... anymore. Nice imagery you've come up with. Liked it!
