If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

30 poems·Since October 2012

I am a aspiring actress who loves to write poetry! I love this site and would like to support the many causes, as well as get my own work out there! I'm actually saving up to go to The American Musical and Dramatic Arts Academy in Los Angeles. However, college is expensive. I actually found this website through scholarship questing.

A Vow to Hate

October 31, 2012
Don’t, Don’t Can’t, Won’t You’ve used every excuse more than once But I won’t forget My vow above all Against you I promise to bear a grudge Is it right? Is it rational? I don’t care I’ll shoot daggers with every stare I’ll resent you even after my body is rotten You’re a liar if you say you’ve forgotten You’re such a child- no one has ever been able to stay mad at you Yet. But I’ll hate you forever- on my life you can bet! My wounds unable to scab over and mend But I’m no coward I will not flee Or hesitate to look you in the eye Yes… I suppose I can speak, if it will make you cry. You’re as indifferent as nature to the trouble you cause- Well, the tides are turning. I’ll bust my ass for you no more- Go ahead and drown if you must! Excuse me for making you lift a limb, Exert some sweat, Use your brain, Make you live a little. Well I’ve solved the riddle. What you want is not ‘better’ or ‘best’ But rather ‘easy’ and ‘fun’ Thus, not life But a reality scam So Join the followers The fakes, the weak, and the meek I’ve only given everything to help you I’ve never tried to change you But I saw potential! … I’ll admit it was a mistake I may have lost the battle But I’ll win the war So I’ll ignore you forever, like never before!
