Turn your back (Free verse) by kliq Who are you?
Standing in the dark
I don't see you
Come into the light
Why do you reject the light?
What did they do?
The creatures of the night
Do they belong to you?
I don't blame you!
That's all we really are
Till someone finds us
Till someone cracks us
We are always in the dark
To them.
I don't know you!
And I won't see you
Until the day I crack that soul
All you'll be is a stranger in the night
So I'll turn my back
And walk away
And I'll come back
When I know you, when I have light to shine
On your dark exterior
Then I'll find you
Then I'll know you
Then you wont be in dark!

its rhythm is somewhat messed up...makes reading it kind of jerky...4
Sooo what your portraying here is a mockery of society because we judge others without getting to know them first?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I got from it anyway...As far as my commentary goes, I really did think about the style, pattern, theme, if the poem "grabbed me" per say, and you aren't going to like this, I apologize for my honesty, but...I didn't care for it. It is not a style I enjoy: maybe I've seen it too much or just need elements such as imagery & whimsey in poetry, but that's just me. Others might completely relate. And it's not like I write about kittens & daisies or like reading that kind of material for that matter, I mean Plath is my favorite for goodness sake, so it's not that I don't appreciate the dark undertones...or flat-out obvious dark "overtones" like in this poem...
Thanks for the read however, ~Sunny 140 view(s)
