Exceptional

Something I'm mad about. If you don't understand something in this writing, just ask away =)

She always places second in priority,

Her troubles are never of authority,

So just sit down and shut your mouth,

Let them scream at you, let them shout.

And then, cry alone, when no one is home.

Say they're right,

Even if it makes you writhe,

Because it will make them smile.

Don't fight for your rights,

Just go along, and you'll pay for it at night.

But you will cry alone.

Just go along, and put on that smile,

The one you use, when nothing is worth your while,

No one tries to understand you, you're a waste of time,

Just give up already, and later, sublime.

Acknowledge their words, you're never correct,

Your opinion, their mind it won't affect,

They're all the same, your head with lust they will infect,

After they kick you around and play with your heart, you they'll reject.

And they say you have no respect.

Where is the exception?

I know I used the same picture, but I couldn't think of a better one.

This almost made my cry. I guess its because io feel this way all the time. You do a great job of portraying your feelings. Its a very universal poem. I think that the only person who could be offended or not understand where you are comming from is a parent or other authority figure. Great poem.

This is a good emotional poem. Not just angry but also sarcastic. fighting for self worth.

I understand this, well, at least from my point of view, I thought it was a beaut (: Simple, but meaningful. I feel the mood of this poem is slight in inconsolable rage...but still smooth :) I like this!
