Empty Soul

Empty Soul

A Poem by AaronFreitas
"

Originally a song I wrote way back Feb 10, 2008, changed a couple things so I could share. It was written about a specific moment in my life where things weren't good.

"

 

Nothing's ever perfect
Nothing's ever fair
I look into these eyes
And see this blank stare

Frayed since my creation
Abandoned from the start
My mother never loved my dad
And it breaks my f*****g heart!

Made to disappoint
Destined to fail
Created for your laughter
Only I could never tell

I am so pathetic
It’s so sad to see
I am just a worthless liar
but that’s what you made of me

That’s why you did it
That’s why you left me empty
Torn between my family
And it’s not sad for you to see

Why me? Why me?
What did I do to deserve this empty destiny?
Why me? Why me?
Take my empty soul and leave me free to be

You gave me life
But left me in this empty hole
So take my life
And my empty soul

So, I like the rhythm of some of these. I think this needs to be rewritten as a song, preferably a rock song. Turn one of those stanzas into a good strong chorus, throw some lead guitar on that s**t and it's solid. You seem to have the same problem I have with poetry. A lot of times I end up with a lot of really good stanzas, but I can't seem to form them into a complete and coherent poem that just feels...finished. You know? But yeah. Song. Think about it.

PS: Think of like, Corey Taylor-esque vocals singing,

"WHYY YOU? Why me?
What did I do to deserve this destiny!"

Just an idea :p

Thank you so much PeaceofMind :)
I am hearing Jeremy Camp in his younger years screaming out "Take My Life" as I read this. Not sure why as this is not what he means...lol but maybe it should.

Sometimes our lives are marked with so much crap that it is hard to see the purpose or the good. Just know that I think you are a work of art in the making. Not every picture is made up of pastels. It takes the dark and vibrant to make a work really interesting. Your soul is far from empty, my friend, although maybe it is the spirit and energy to fight back that is so. Keep on. Nothing stays the same for long. That is one of life's assurances. Change is the only constant.

Thank you shygirl :) Appreciate your comments :)
nope, none of us was asked if we wanted to be created or got to chose our parents for that matter. we can only try to cheat our genetic makeup and become ourselves instead of another generation of what our creators were. Why me indeed. I think a lot of people ask that question. It's a great poem Aaron. Thanks for sharing.

I like it. I feel like it makes the message clear but also masks some of the deeper pain and feeling. =]
