Independent #1

Usually I just write what comes to me, and whenever it does. This one came in Spanish class. I was just thinking about everyday decisions that people are faced with, and how something that should be so simple really isn't in reality. And how some people just want to forget about something [or someone] and just move on with their lives, but sometimes its not as easy as that either. Basically "things are not always what they seem" is what I was thinking going into this piece.

Betray for Me

Don’t make me do this
Don’t make me chose
Although its easy
One; brings a glow to my heart
When all I’ve seen is darkness
The other; is in the past, or I want him to be,
And resentment makes me want to tear him down
For tearing my heart to pieces
So why the choosing, why so difficult? It should be easy,
Because what one wont do to the other
[Because who would betray a best friend?]
But I wish he would. I just want to forget the past. What should be the past.

i like it, it seems like you used some of e.e. cummings in your poem. and it really draws the reader in.

Good poem Sam. I agree with Morgan-a bit of a cummings influence obvious.

Try using images and figurative language in your next poem...give your audience someting "to chew on" a bit.
