Walk Away
I lift my head
look the world in the eye
I've been given a load a shit
Lord--and I don't know why
Born to a world of pain
you gave more than your share
You took what I would never give
But then who said life was fair
The heavens cry for me
I have fallen from grace
I made dying my reason to live
now- I spit in YOUR face
You take without giving
Don't you know nothing is for free
You will pay with your soul
while I walk away free
found the photo online. It's not mine I just borrowing it

Lol.. I spit in your face. Very dynamic shaunda. It's hurt and pissed, raw for a better description I guess. It has almost an air of arrogance, the ending is like comparing yourself to a god. But it's also uplifting, presenting the pain while still picking yourself and moving on. Nice job ^_^

Thank you so much. You got it just right. I would love to learn to critique like you do.

"Unlike me who wallows daily in wanting the strength to kill myself." No!! I didn't know you ever felt this way. You are always so kind and uplifting. You hide your pain well. Too well, I think. There are so many here you can talk to. You know that, Right?

To me this is a shout of "I will survive in spite of you" and that gives me hope for your future Shaunda the brave of spirit.

The first two lines and the last one I haven't gotten around to feeling yet, but the rest describes a feeling I know all too well. That if there is a deity, hes either sadistic, catatonic or just plain doesnt care. It's been a while Shaunda, I've missed seeing you kicking around on here. It's nice to see your still kicking ass :)

ahaha. Ok. I must confess. This was written for my father. I was liking everyone's comments so much, I was afraid if I told everyone it wasn't about god, the comments would stop. So there goes, everyone. The truth. Blast away at me for my devious deceptions. muahahaha
Thanks Dystomy

Lol I knew that..... Of course I knew THAT.... I was just checking to see if you knew that (?) lol one father in particular or 'our father who art in heaven' this is still well written, proud and just as relatable. Excuse me while I try and figure out what sheepish looks like :)

Ahahaha.I'm so glad you got me straight on that. Did i pass the test. And don't worry. You were sheepish quite well. I should know. I've worn it myself. Often :)>

I like it because it says no matter what I will keep going and that's also my philosophy. I to have to take this state of mind. Good thought provoking poem.
