I hope you know you're trapped
with someone you can't change
I've been this way for far too long
This bird wasn't meant for a cage

Another day of compromise
I simply can not bear
The sound of your constant insults
The cold void stare you glare

That's not the routine
That wasn't the plan
You ***** & complain
I've taken all I can stand

I'm loud
I'm a slob
I'm white trash
You will say

The bottom line is ***** IT!
So ***** YOU I will say

Everything you hate about me
Is everything they all love
So why would you try to change me?
For them I'm good enough

There is so much more hurt now
It overshaddows the love
I guess that makes you the cage
I must be the Dove [comments] => 2 [counter] => 389 [topic] => 48 [informant] => sugarshane [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Those last two lines give such an impact. Poweful boost to a great poem. Keep it up.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
