taking control

You left me speechless, Shameful, Powerful, Your cocky voice flows threw me. Just like the blood from the bite of a vampire. I’m unafraid, I’m unafraid. you made me this way. the threats of your weapons have nothing on me now. You lie asleep, i muzzle you. As if you were a mad dog. The gun is loaded. The secret is out. No more abuse, No more abuse. My heart was stolen and i want it back. one shot is all it takes. the Vodka can no longer numb the pain. you dared me to get mad You dared me to do this. And now I want nothing but the truth.

fucking awesome!

this is the sort of poetry that keeps me coming back to Neopoet. Remember how much the title changed the piece? This is you acknowledging yourself in your power and vulnerability. I’m unafraid, I’m unafraid. works well, you need to say it twice for poetic impact and for the deaf prick. The end line confirms your power. Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible,

You have a poetic voice

that many strive for years to find, some do and let it bind them, I suspect that you won't let that happen. You've got to meet my friend Aeron, she hasn't been on neopoet for months, she tours the country like a gypsy doing performance art. Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible,
