Burn

Burn

A Poem by Jessica Dallaire
"

I've had some pent up anger, and this is about no one person in particular, but my blended feelings about a few specific people in my life in relation to my future. 4/17/2012

"
It's my life to live, not yours.
Don't tell me what I should do. 
If I wanted your opinion
I'd have asked it of you. 

You judgments are not welcome.
I don't care what you say.
Keep your thoughts to yourself
Because I'll live my life my own way.

You think you know better.
You think you're so wise.
If that were true, tell me,
Why are you the Queen of Lies?

You criticize my life like you live it
Yet your life is nothing but a projection.
Little miss know-it-all
Has to be the image of perfection.

You act like you care 
And yet you never come around.
I'm going to live my own life.
Stop trying to burn my dreams to the ground.

This is beautiful and bursting with feeling. I can sense the strong annoyance and anger. The way that your words were put together .. They just had an amazing rhythm.
