Array ( [sid] => 127230 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => No Longer [time] => 2006-10-21 21:42:44 [hometext] => For all those people that have been picked on or ridiculed for looks, beliefs, interests, etc. [bodytext] => I know you go behind my back
And talk about what I lack
Well I‘m not having any more
I’m going to settle the score
You can no longer dampen these eyes
Or make me wish that could say my goodbyes
No longer can you make me feel like crap
Because my wings I will flap
And swoop down on you
Like you never knew
Then you’ll get the clue
That I’m not messing with you
No longer will the tears fall
The hurtful names you will no longer call
Now you realize
And see the world through my eyes
It’s not pretty
When people make you feel itty-bitty
Now you know how I feel
And wish it were all just a tape reel
That you could take it all back
Well it’s too late for that
I just want to be accepted
And no longer rejected
I want to believe I can be someone
And not have my emotions flung
Like they’re some object
The mockery and ridicule I’m tired of being subject
I try to be nice
But instead of taking my hand you take my feelings and you slice
Like warm knife through butter
And I close my mind and nail the shutter
Not allowing anybody in
And throw my trust in the trash bin
Not allowing myself to open up to people
And making me feel feeble
I opened up to you and you took what you saw
And decided to point out the flaws
With no regard to anybody else but yourself
You took my book of secrets off the shelf
And opened it for the whole world to see
And laugh at me
Now you feel my pain
And nothing you have gained
Except a few past laughs at my expense
When I could not put my defense [comments] => 2 [counter] => 228 [topic] => 6 [informant] => Wordsmith09 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )
No Longer

fav line: "You took my book of secrets off the shelf". Also what I like about this poem even though the lines are all couplets they don't get boring. I really liked it. There was a great command of language here.

This kept my attention, it almost read like a heartbeat when angered, loved that.
