Sad Poem(4)

By *****Junior Walker***** •

Write a sad poem Try to put a word in for me If you can put in two or three Then crunch up the paper And throw it away It’s all the same at the end of the day If you tell me that you did I wouldn’t know how to reply Because people cheat and they lie Life taught us that if we can’t see it It can’t be real What you can’t touch you cannot feel But if you’re honest And you tell me you put a word in for me My belief would pay homage to your acquired honesty And if your honesty needed to be fed You know that I would give you a limb Or a sad poem When you’re writing Tell me Do you really believe me? Don’t you know people cheat and they lie? Inside you is a web of all the traits known to humanity And oh no, the web got tangled up with me God spun a web for me I spun a web for me Then along came some spiders and sat down beside me And oh my, the web got tangled up with me Now it’s just me with a sad poem in the middle I’m caught in the middle With the thought of all the stupid things I’ve said With the thought of all the stupid things I’ve done A 21st century prodigal son So honestly write a sad poem Try to put a word in for me If you can put in two or three…

i know what you mean about the confusion,reading it back even I get confused,usually hate reading my stuff after the time when I write it through,I really should have written a explanation for this one though,anyway no time like the present,the underlying message is me being sad and frustrated with the way that people and society are,then the 6th stanza onwards it supposed to show my disappointment in some of the qualities I've picked up that I never had when I was younger,I guess the whole me asking to be put into a sad poem is me wanting some pity or attention really

I really enjoyed that. Covers how I feel sometimes, but I always hide it underneath my smile.
