The answer was violence

Ok, here is a go at a poem knowing I sucked in trying to rap. :D I thought I was doing SYF a favor when I wrote those lines. :( Anyway, feedback appreciated.


It was like a twister ripping at her heart
Destroying and breaking it too fast
Anticipating her future as she departs
But she has been stuck in the past
Most prevalently obvious were the tears in her eyes
Inscribed with precision as they journeyed her cheek
Her mind going crazy trying to answer her “whys”
Struggling in despair, but she was overwhelmingly weak
A princess fallen victim to the greed of man
Unwilling to explain, they won’t understand.
Ashamed and distraught, occupied with fear
Won’t tell anyone what happened last year.

Even in her sleep, at times, the bastard still shows
He killed every lively petal that once decorated this rose
How could he even do this? Did it ever cross his mind?
The consequence of his actions, their effects on this child
She didn’t know what to do, but hide the truth in silence
She contemplated suicide; the answer was violence
She took a paper and a pen, explaining all those things
She folded the letter and placed it next to her diamond ring

As she held his nine and placed it next to her head
Recalling every detail and all the words he said
“I will kill you if you do tell” those were exactly his words
Raping her in the hotel, she couldn’t scream one word
No one would have believed her. It was impossible
In his ways very persuasive and would portray it implausible
She pulled the trigger and "bang". Dead; she lay on the floor
Her brain right beside her. The blood. And her mom at the door

Two days later, finally, her mother read the letter
In shock, she was crying and the words wouldn't utter
Looking at her husband, she was livid, angry and hysterical
When she reached the final lines, it was obvious they were lyrical
“Mother I am sorry to cause you this pain.” The girl regretted
“But my options were few. One was the train.” She suggested
“Now I wanna tell what I hid this long. I just want to confess”
“I was raped very young. It had been tearing at my chest”
“The perpetrator was my father. I don’t know why he did it”
“I got pregnant with his baby, and I was afraid to admit it”

Good piece, was feeling it, the darkness and tension you portrayed was interesting, and the ending was a shock to me but still very good and well written.

I especially like your ability to tell a story within the verses and each verse kept and held meaning, you're a damn good writer, keep it up.

You see my man, I had read this a couple of weeks back but decided not to reply.

I can't really remember why I decided against it, I think I just thought that what I wanted to say had already been said. I do remember though that I wasn't as taken back with the ending as some other dudes appeared to be.

It is a nicely written story though.

From a poetic POV, the line length is a little fucked & syllable count has not been taken into consideration - both can be good or bad, just depends on what effect you were going for.

Also, the stanzas are a little off in structure seeing as you have 12-8-8-10.

The rhyme scheme goes from a-b-a-b in the first stanza, to a-a-b-b for the other three.

Other than the basic observations, I'll mention my favourite line,

He killed every lively petal that once decorated this rose

A quick metaphor & a weird piece of personification for the first half of the line while in the second half there is the opposite - I doubt this was intended but it is interesting lol.

I like the way that line reads too.

Deep :thumb: That line Calcuo quoted is also my favourite, simple yet so meaningful.

I haven't been in PJ for agees, as I stopped writing so I've never read any of your stuff before but what I see from this I'm impressed. Great drop :thumb:
(Sorry if my replies crappy, I'm still getting back into the hang of it lol)
