YOUR GHASTLY LITTLE HUNGER GAMES

YOUR GHASTLY LITTLE HUNGER GAMES

A Poem by M. L. F.
"

WOE TO THE ONES WHO LIE AND PLOT... THE LIGHT WILL ALWAYS SEARCH YOU OUT...

"

Today I wear a smirking smile, with “less than” love I walked the mile

But now I’m free to spread my wings, No longer bound by sparkling things

I’m bursting out amidst the blue, a world of those surpassing you

They gaze at me, I gaze back too, such chemistry so overdue

For all have told me, you did too, that I deserved much more than you

And everyone will one day know, how warped you are, how far you’d go

The things you did were inhumane, your ghastly little hunger games

Now you’re the one in worried tears, watching as I trample fears

And when the white coats sum you up and finally tell you, you’re corrupt

Don’t look to me, I’ve had enough, I’ve drunk enough from “less than’s” cup

You’re arrogance, your highest crown, the pride before you got pushed down

Will one day soon feel so profound when all have watched your ego drown

You are an extraordinary writer of cautionary pieces. I am a big fan of the dark, yet protective veil you seem to cast over some of your pieces. A salivating sense of righteousness I can certainly vibe to. Your description is quite fitting for this piece; it sums it up quite well. I also think if flow was on your target-of-an-agenda, then you have landed a mighty bulls-eye. Smooth my friend, like jazz. Real smooth.

I don't know what the first draft was like but this is superb!! The flow is amazing your internal rhyme, sublime. And I cannot help but add that your write invokes quite the images and thoughts I enjoyed this very much. And the message: Damn good for you if you are able to now spread those wings and a fresh start, because those raw and honest emotions seem to indicate that more than anything else here. The last two lines especially pack quite the punch. Thank you for sharing ^^

You're welcome.
nothing like a new start after being held back by another's misguided love and ownership----truly free to love...and that is how it should be always...as they say, set something free and if it loves it will come back to you...
and i really like "less than love"---

Very intense wordplay. These words are like punches. The message of rising up is a perfect twist on the Easter tradition.

Misty, nice work here. I think you'll be able to smooth out a few places, but really great work here. Some of the lines that really show off your talent with crafting powerful expressions were:

"when the white coats sum you up" (Nice expression of the doctors who'll be looking that this "less than" lover. All I can say is that I don't envy the white coats!)
"I’ve drunk enough from “less than’s” cup" (I love this expression...it really was a "less than" love...not what you were promised or could have expected.)

In my opinion, the last two lines are really, really good and close the piece with a nice punch. Just a thought, but you might consider changing something about the last phrase to make it smooth/rhyme more closely. It's a taste thing I suppose, though, so go for what you think works.

Brava!
