Psycho

i failed two of prelims, and only just passed the other three. my friend who i always thought of as more intelligent than me got the same, and i just feel like he never shows who he truly is.

You're a crazy psycho man
with a dastardly plan.

Am I the only one in this heartless place

that can see the line where your mask meets your face?

Every time you get that look in your eyes

I can tell its all just lies.

Me, a paint covered dreamer,

you were so nice and so neat

we met in the playground.

But now we've grown up 

and life don't taste so sweet,
haven't things turned around?

you were a quiet beauty

I was an ugly beast

we thought we were so smart.

We left the playground

on new knowledge to feast,

yet now I've gorged out my heart.

Now you're a crazy psycho man

with a dastardly plan.

You embraced this foul, heartless place

so quick I didn't see you pull that mask over your face.

Still every time i look in your eyes

I can tell it's all just lies.

We've both failed what we once valued

so we must find new dreams, 

I'm not destined to fail.

Don't be afraid to show your tears,

I'll let you hear my screams,

I promise i wont moan and wail.

I've got self confidence and a figure

and I've learnt how to fly,

but so few people see me.

The scowl painted on your face

will remain even after you die,

but is that how you want it to be?

My dear crazy psycho man

forget your dastardly plan.

Run far with me from this heartless place,

why must you mask such a loving, kind face? 

You don't need to cover your eyes.

Please don't tell  me lies.

You definitely deserve to win the poetry contest with this. My heart skipped a beat while I was reading. A true talent that doesn't deserve to be ignored. keep it up!
