saphire23- December 16th, 2011
untitled
never wanted to be
always fought to be
me
left alone on the side of the road
left to be
me
looking in the mirror
begging please anyone but
me
all alone
facing the world
me
despair and pain
always one in the same
me
nothing is as it seems to be
willing it wont let it be
me
always the brunt of the joke
always the last to know
me
can't stand it anymore
I'm walking away
me
wouldn't it be nice
looking back and seeing
me

Starting off the new year a little late. I just needed some time to recoup my faculties. Congratulations to Saphire23 for the first poem of the month to kick off the new year. Yay!

Congratulations to svenkelsey, the default drunken poet of the month. I know you can do better. If you can read it you can write it.

Happy Halloween, you can take your mask off now. Score another one for BonnieJean. Congratulations. You are turning into a sure bet. I'm putting my money down on her.

Just got this one in under the wire. When I saw MassiveWanker74 I thought, dirty name, I might have to do some deleting for the kiddos. But as I explored further I realized it was legit. I chose Popcorn and Vodka and not because I like popcorn. It made me think of martini's. Dirty martinis, to be specific, dirty martinis with extra olives. The night practically writes itself. ohh, Yummy. So heres to dirty martinis and dirty names. Congratulations MassiveWanker74.

What an excellent poem from BonnieJean. Check it out. I wish she would send in more poems. I read it several times and came up with the same emotions each time.So congratulations on the new Poet of the Month, BonnieJean.

I don't know, I smell a winner and so early in the month. I was really touched by the most recent poem. The rest of you are going to be hard pressed to surpass this one. Perhaps there is on of you out there with the temerity to try. I don't like to be prejudiced but sometimes the heartstrings are pulled in just the right way.

A little late again. I've been swimming with the mermaids again. I didn't get a tear except in my own eye from those 3-D glasses. Congratulations to MNash again for a lovely poem. Some body ought to write a new poem or I'll have to cover four months with MNash. Which isn't bad but wouldn't be fair to all the other people with poems in their heads.
