The Riddle

 

So here I sit

Thumbs a twiddle

Thinking about

This stupid riddle

 

I’ve thought so long

Countless hours a day

It might be a lost cause

But I’ll figure it out someway

 

I’ve just about given up

Where I don’t even care

I’ll never figure this out

If you know, please share

 

Well I am done trying

This much is true

You’ll be shocked when you realize

The Riddle is you

[Bethany Woody]

Oh wow, this is great. It makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. The piece is writen with such a humorous tone, a very bouncy little rhyme sceme and then at the end it hits you that the piece really isn't that funny. It's the end of a relationship. The point where you cant take anymore and you throw your hands in the air and walk away from it all. It's the point where to stay would be more painful then if you left.
Wonderfully written.

this is very interesting i liked the ending i didn't expect that to be the ending

I like the message and/or subject matter. People can so often be like a Rubick's Cube. Just when you think you have them solved, something changes. Especially that "Estrogen Infused" portion of the population. Argh! They absolutely confound me.

There were a few tiny spots where I stumbled over your meter, but that's to be expected. Heck rhyming isn't easy.

All in all, very enjoyable.

I like this it's thought provoking, very well said too

nice twist at the end. People are full of trap doors and hidden passages.. you'll never find your way out if you decide to go in! Frustration well felt. Kept me guessing.. "wonder what the riddle is?"
