My gentle soul
Be wild in the eyes of hers,
my sweet laughter
A roar to her hearing,
A smile from my cheeks
To be welcomed with a frown,
A decent me
a whore to her
My tiresome poise
my laziness in her view
Scolding my siblings
An outrageous act of mine.
Of no good I am
Of little gain I’ve become
I feel taunted by her words
But my tongue is twisted
And I’m dying of silence
Friends and folks
Detest my company
For I’ve been painted black
And my presence is a curse.
So lonely I have become
Tears are nowhere to be found
My lachrymal lake dry like a desert
Pondering my daily chores
For the stigma she has given me
The witch with no wings
People would laugh while they call me.
I’d want to go far away
Where no sapien knows my name
And feel the scorching sun
And the billowing wind
And let the rain wash my tears away
For my heart has been chewed like a bone.
A better me coming up
For I’ll ignore the pain
And make a gain
For I’ll tell the world
My sorrow and sore
None should be like me
The one with the twisted tongue
What she thinks of me
Shouldn’t be me
What she thinks of me
Is only a criticism of me
I am better than criticism
I hold a place, I have a stand
So what she thinks of me
Is not me!
Nicely written. Message clear.
She sees and evil twin, a distorted shadow.
I would have loved the poem to be broken into stanzas to give breathers, allow the message sink and settle.
Well done.
