Poem Commentary

perception

Ok ! you're right ,

Ok!, you're right . 
I am a black widow ,
Without love or flight.

You're right , I am a cheater,
temptation threatens to consume me.
I don't know the true
way to love you .


You are correct .
I have dabled in drugs
Broke the law,
defiant in my own right.

Your right ,
your better than me ,
because your thoughts
aren't bad or released for all to hear.

Your right !!!!
I'm the loose woman ,
the one your mother uses
to prove she is clean.

Your right !!
Let me ease your conscious,
I have told you lies from time to time
it's easier that way.


Your right !!!
I make dumb decisions ,
hang around people, 
who don't respect me nor themselves.

YOU ARE RIGHT
I don't deserve 
to be respected 
i don't deserve the smile i force
nor do i deserve the truth ...


Your always right 
and that's what makes you 
better than me .
that's what makes your word
more true than mine.


Your right !!!
I'm one of those women 
who wasn't meant to be a wife.
I'm deserving of your fist , not 
a ring .

Your so right 
as his sister , 
you knew me better than anyone 
else .
and your a better women than me.


Your correct 
your pain is more valid 
than my own .
I should loose my pedestal 
and be left alone.

Your on the mark !!!
when you compare me 
to your mother , 
and then talk about me with disgrace
your justified in believing that 
your daughter will be just like her 
foolish mother.


Your correct 
in teaching your children to dislike me 
to fear me , and to demonize me .
your right i don't deserve to have friends 
people who care for me 
or success in my life .

You're right 
i played the same games on you 
that you played on me.
I took your kindness for weakness,
I took advantage of you .

Your right 
I made you sleep with me 
i made you lie to me 
i made you leave me 
               i made you father my children
i made you stand on those corners
i made you offer me dangerous drugs 
I made you turn your back on your love ones for me
I created the dysfunction in your family
I didn't give you a fair opportunity to love me and 
be apart of my life .
I didn't try to talk to you .


Your right 
I told the whole world your personal business 
I embarrassed you at your job , home , everywhere you went
I disrespected your mother , and respected my mother 
You went to my father and did things in a honorable way .
Your right 
i didn't try to make things right with you 
 

Your right , your always right, because 
to threaten what you believe in 
is too much for your fear to accept,
you can't handle being in the wrong,
it's why have to sing the (blame) song
this is why i'm always wrong
denial isn't a solution 
fear doesnt make good changes 
seems as if you need me to blame 
you need me to take the shame
you need me to be the bad one 
you need me to be ...

Excellent write! This poem is about perception. Just because someone perceives something in a certain way does not mean it is correct. It is just that a viewpoint. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Great emotion, reflection, and self deprecating tone...............E

thank you ... your the first to read .. glad you like . and stopped by @@

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
