Losing It

°whispered° 1

It feels strange not to be capable of forming tears anymore, especially now that all I can bring myself to want to do is cry. Is watching this masquerade of blind dancers supposed to make me feel jealous, or angered perhaps? All it seems to do is confuse. Wandering aimlessly has no ups or downs, just this mountain of negligible nothings. I was so sure I'd find something worth missing in this frigid wasteland but memories just aren't the same when they're all you have left. 2

°spoken° 3

Wait! There... in my bedroom. What's happening? What do they think they're doing? My clothes! Those are mine, and my desk full of my beautiful writings! Those are mine too! Imagine, I once thought I mattered to these people. These monsters. You'd think my own parents would wait twenty-four measly hours before they tore every spec of an innocent reminder of their child down from the walls of injustice. If anything about dying has tainted the thought of ever existing in the first place, it's the hypocrisy of it all. 4

°shouted° 5

What more could you possibly have expected from me! I don't remember signing any contract promising to put up with your silly mind games! It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair! Toy with someone else's emotions for a change! I've had enough of what your idea of a test is! Why, why, why? You know what, I don't even care anymore! Have at me! Nail me to your noticeboard of failures! Chisel a note deep into my soul that explains the horrific truths of how disappointment has prevailed! Let everybody know that I killed myself!!! 6

Author notes

I had to let out a long and heavy bellow of angst after finishing this. And just in case it wasn't obvious enough... this was written from the point of view of the ghost of a person who had commited suicide.

This was originally written as a monologue(So I think it fits better as a "story" than a "poem").

This monologue/story was an entry in the contest: www.allpoetry.com/Contest/632278

    wow this was very powerful, and very strong. I could feel the emotion very easily. The picture itself expressed so much.

    Wow!
    Perfection.
    *blinks rapidly*
    I read this twice darlin, and I still cant seem to lessen the blow of the last line. This is EXACTLY what i was looking for. Wow... yes Im still at that stage... I think I'll come back and reply to it again so that I can give you a thourough critique... but I dont beleive there is anything to fix. The bold, the italic, the word usage.. my god the word usage.. you didnt over do it and turn it into a soap opera (spelling) but you didnt lessen it by using less words. You were strait to the point, and by the way, the picture fits it just as perfect!
    I wish you the best of luck m'dear

    My god this gave me goose bumps when I read it, or should I say heard it in my mind, because it is so powerful I can just hear the bitterness and venom. You're thoughts becoming clearer as your voice becomes louder, this is just awesome.

    The very best of luck in this contest, not that I think you need luck with obvious talent like this

    wow...this has excellent emotion behind it...you are very passionate with how you speak and i totally dig that...i like the rising effect of how you start off in a calm manner by whispering, then eventually working your way up to a full blown shout...i don't think you could have asked for a better picture to complement this poem...excellent work all around

    Wow... this was most definately awesome. If I was into stage performance, I would probably use this as one of my monologues.
    It was very emotional, and I like MacBeth... hell, I like Shakespeare, well Hamlet's my favorite, but in general, I like him. Anyway, this was very good; I don't generally read stuff like this, but perhaps I should... they can prove interesting from time to time. Anyway, keep up the good work; I look forward to reading more when I get the chance.

    Keep up the good fight; it's all we have left...

    I did too! I had to let the anger out! WOW! This was indeed intense. I love how you whispered, then spoke, then yelled. Excellent! Filled with many levels to work from. This is another great monologue. You have the method and the ability. Thank you so for sharing and following the "dreaded rules" to the letter before the NOTICE was posted.

    Much Love,
    Renee
