Reaching The End

Reaching The End

I have so many friends

But what’s the point

If I’m still crying alone?

And one day, they’ll all be gone

It’ll all be over soon

 

I’m never gonna find my fairy godmother

Never get that letter from Hogwarts

Never be told was put in the wrong place by accident

In the wrong person’s skin

The Princess in the S**t Gown

 

I always waited for that life changing event

Little girl. Big dreams.

 

I’m used to being criticized and laughed at.

And I’m still here.

I made it.

I’ll make it.

 

Yet, paper is my only true confidant.

The one who hears my prayers at night.

And remembers to remind me

From time to time.

 

I have an unwavering smile

I’m too big and strong to be shaken

You can’t make me fall m**********r xD

Unless I fall on you.

You've really matured. I've came to respect you not as a girl...but as a young woman. You are finally listening to all those grown-up voices. It's not easy trying to hear them all out. They will be however, beat you down if you let it...but I don't think you will be defeated "not without a fight at least" your inner beauty is too bright to become a victim of self-pity.

Thanks, that really means a lot.

Great lines in this, very strongly written, don't worry about Hogwarts just create your own magic.

[Blue Ivory]

Lol thanks I'll keep that in mind :P

Disillusionment is too often the bane of growing up. But strength matters. For strength has the ability to change perspective. And when it boils down to it, reality often is about perspective. I loved the deconstruction of fairy tales here. Loved the Harry Potter reference. Haven't seen people use that one too often, so credit to you. I sense bitterness in this write. But instead of the cynicism that can come with it, I find defiance, which is very refreshing. Hard words reflecting a hard resolve. I see strength winning over disillusionment. That tells me that you will definitely see light at the end of the tunnel. I think this was a very effective portrayal of your emotions: past and present. Good job!

[Blue Ivory]

Thanks for such a lovely review! It was very helpful :)

[Augustus]

You're welcome! I am glad it was. :)

[Leslie Philibert]

Great, the line the Princess in the s**t gown impresses me a lot, the mix of fairy tales and then hard words..love the tension here, like the poem !

[Blue Ivory]

It's actually this line that made me want to publish it. Thank you.

[MsJewel]

Powerful and filled with emotion. A great poem and a pleasure to read.

I enjoyed the story in the poem. A perfect ending to the excellent poetry.

I love the topic in this, comparing your life to movies. I like how you used the different colors for different words, it made a much bigger impact than it would if it were all the same color. Great poem:) thanks for sharing

I like this, how you start in despair and end in defiance. Very nice. I, too, waited expecting aliens to find me or some secret government organization to steal me away and train me. LOL

[Blue Ivory]

It's that point where your childhood is ending that you begin to remember all these childish hopes and fantasies

[Dr. Wood ?]

you certainly fought back from the depths in this one Siren...Positivity....

[Blue Ivory]

Thank you :)

[Frieda P]

Quite the defeatist attitude at the start of this one Siren, very unlike most of your other writes, then it picks up in tempo and you let us have it right between the eyes! I am loving the moxy here, you go girl............!

[Blue Ivory]

Well I'm glad you found a difference! I was starting to think all my poems were becoming too mopey :P

[Frieda P]

Ha 'mopey' what a great word, but I'd hardly use it to describe you! ;-P

[Blue Ivory]

Well that's a relief :3 This is gonna sound really dorky, but I'm currently counting the hours till my birthday :P It's 10pm over here, and I can finally set my actual age on this site after midnight :3

[Frieda P]

Ha well you are a dork hon ;-) Happy Birthday!!! MWAH!
