I can't do anything right
Everything I do is wrong
Nothing I do is good enough
Was he right all along?
He always said I wouldn't make it
That I didn't stand a chance
That people would never notice me
They'd only steal a glance.
He said that I wouldn't add up to anything
And that my life doesn't matter
He was always putting me down
My hopes and dreams he'd shatter.
Over time I started to believe him
And think that he might be right
When he said I wasn't anything
So I left that very night.
I walked straight out the door
Off on my own way
Not knowing where I was going
For I had no place to stay.
I wondered what he'd do
When he saw that I wasn't there
I wondered if he'd worry
Or if he'd even care.
It doesn't matter anymore
Cause I'm away from that place
It's time to start a brand new life
With my old, familiar face.
I don't know if I should end it like that, or add something more to it. Please let me know what you think.

Reply:Emily,
As a poem, this meets my standards in that it rhymes and scans. Unlike much new these days that pretends to poetry but is just prose written without ordinary sentence and paragraph structure.
As for the message, very powerfull. There is too much domination. My way is better than yours. And not enough accommodation. Neither father, husband nor lover, has the right to stand between you and you aspirations: to denigrate your vision of your self. To do so, is the way of the tyrant, the control freak, the un-loving.
It is very difficult to reject the message of incompetence when delivered by someone you love. But, it is essential to do so in order to maintain your self identity.
If your poem is autobiographical, I wish you great success. If it is anecdotal, you have a very perceptive mind and talent for empathy, which will serve you well as an observer of the human condition.

Reply:Powerful. Now "if only" more people would truly walk away from people who verbally abused them, and walk back into their own lives, how happier alot of people would be.
Keep up the good work.

Reply:i love it! but if you really feel this way i am very sorry for you...anyways the poem is good..it's got emotions in it...
Reply:end it like that.. it leaves people guessing.
Reply:That's really good, I like your ending I think you should keep it like that. So this I gather is about your father? I'm sorry you had to go through this. Remember, we decide our own worth! Don't let someone else tell you what you can and can't do! Prove him wrong ok?
Kisses,
Sarah
Reply:its real good you should just end it there

Reply:BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! that poem SUCKED EGGS! LOL! HOPE THIS HELPS! LOL!
Reply:It is a very good poem.
Reply:I think this poem should be turned around to the positive side. It really would sound better the other way around. Can't help but wonder the reasons behind this poem. All I can say is to feel good about yourself and don't let anyone put you down because no one should have to feel this way. Please change the poem around to positiveness.
Reply:thtas nice
Reply:I like certain stanzas. The final one is nice, and so is the fourth one.
I also think it's very literal, and would benefit from a little metaphor.
Brave of you to post your work here. Keep writing!
Reply:that is pathetic - I'm guessing you're 14 - am I right?
