Confession : The Root of It All

big secret came out tonight

I regret to inform
  you -
(Your worst nightmare's repeating.)
That little boy of yours
    is not so innocent.
His perfect eyes are
Liars.
That kitty-cat smile a
  cheap ticket to
    disaster dinner theater.

I'm sorry to burst your
Happy little bubble.
You almost had a hold on
  all your straws.
I burst forth with the
  truth -
(What I kept hidden from
Even God for years.)
My ribcage aches in
      Electro
      Techno
shock.

Is your's shattered?

I hope this doesn't stain
  that dress you wear
To all life's parties.
You only look pretty in a
Tragic shade
  of yellow.

Author's Note

Submitted this into a contest on another poetry site. My prompt was a wordbank : regret, burst, ribcage, dress, yellow. I went with it~

Very intense. And great use of the words you were given especially the use of the word ribcage. Great job.

I loved it! I can really relate to it.

[ebur™]

I really like this poem; it choppiness (yet... it still flows nicely) kind of adds a good effect. And I like the last part, very nice, as well as how you arranged the words. nicely done. :)

I really like this, but I have a feeling it should be longer. I am not sure why. But I really like what you did with the words you had. I might try to write a poem with these words to see what comes out... Who knows, but it really is great. = ]

[T.S. Rex]

I love it

That's all I can really say cause it's making me think a little to hard for this late night XD But yes, it's wonderful!

[Undying Glory]

oh yeah, it's extremely annoying how people can get away with things just because they look so innocent. i think it's about time someone wrote about this. great
