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

oh my goodness my friend...I can relate on the level of not feeling my mother loved my father...and she did but it was just too late. there is an emptiness in this poem as you say, and it rings out loudly. it makes my heart ache for you, but you are incredibly well expressed.

Some questions can't be answered. Understand life. Hard quest to be done.
"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"
The above lines. Asked by the most of us. Thank you Aaron for sharing your outstanding poetry.

Was my pleasure to read your work and you are welcome.
I love it, everyone will walk in your shoes at least once in their life so to your readers I say live and learn :~)
OK here I go again, your sentence structure could use a little tweaking to give it the best flow possible. I hope you don't mind my doing a tweaking for you.

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

Great dig-up from past. I can't say I would publish my writing from that long ago, it probably sounds horrifying.

Here's some critique, if you ever plan on changing this. (Honestly, don't. It's a piece of history now.)

Title, the first letter 'm' should be capitalized. Makes a better em sound, because people stress the letter more.

"Nothings" should be "Nothing's"

Second to last stanza, the repetitions are a nice touch but I think it would be nice if you made the objects different while keeping the same meaning. So that the meaning repeats, the words almost do. Ex. "Why I, why me."

And last stanza. First you talk about how it gave you life, then you ask it to take it away, except in the same words. Well, almost.
I would change the third line so that it re-implies that life was given by the same thing.

Overall, perfect. Again, I hope you utterly ignore my advice and don't change a thing. Use this for future projects, just tips on your style.
Thanks for posting. And keep writing.

I feel the dark thoughts you had when you originally wrote this, and that alone adds so much to this piece. The torment inside only to be slightly released with the help of the pen. I love seeing these early writes because I get to see how you, and your writing have grown. You started great, and now your fantastic :)
