Ugly is Life
February 21, 2012
H*** rips open.
The d***ed suck the marrow dry.
Maggots they all are
All the wh***s-
All the sinners-
All the hypocrites and liars a like.
Father dear,
Mother dearest
Condemned us all
Under false pretenses-
Under whim-
Under blame-
Under hate.
Who knows?
Who cares?
The damage is done,
and undoable.
So now I’m trapped here,
In this box
as it gets smaller and smaller.
Just waiting-
Begging-
Yearning
For the day I finally suffocate.
To join the free in eternal rest
Free of all the pain of living-
Free of all the torment of feeling-
Free of all the never-ending agony of these chains that confine us all.
But for now I ache…

The intensity of this poem still hasn't sunk in yet. Each word is powerful and in saying this, the whole message is "uber-powerful" (if that was a word). Anyway, ncie job man!!

wow. this was really powerful.
I loved it - I think I've said this before, but it's true: you have a tremendous amount of talent.

I don't know what to say:(and that's sad because for someone like you to have such writing skills, you deserve no less. This poem is powerful and slaps some truth in peoples face. You have some very neat writing powers!

I will admit that i had to read this a few times. Not because it was confusing or hard to undstand, but because they is something in the way it was written that grabbed hold of me and refused to let go. I love the idea, and the way it was conveyed, just wish you hadn't been censored, i think it would have really added to the dramatic effect of the piece. But that's not something you can change.

It's an intense poem---the word choice leaves me impressed, especially the last ten or so lines. The only thing I would suggest is that you start the poem with "All the sinners--." I just think it would grab the reader more. Since you've been censored, I was a little confused in the beginning of the poem. But great job otherwise~
