In my throne I sit...
In my throne I sit
In my kingdom I command
They handed me my scepter
They handed me my robe
But I am a child
unfit to lead anyone
I hope and pray
That her eyes would read this
and come running
But I know what I'm worth
I know I'm pushed aside
Looking in a mirror I see
I see what looks back at me
The scars are not on the surface
But they scare her away
Never worth a chance
Never worth a second look
The corrupted heart tells a story
a story through the ages
I'm old
I can see the finish line
There is no line
there are no people
Because when I cross it
I'll cross it alone
and nobody wants my hand
nobody wants a claw
I wish I was worth decency
I wish I had looks of shallow
To swim in shallow dreams
But that pool is off limits
to the likes of me
But if I could swim
I might trick someone into something deeper
Even an illusion
is better than nothing
But I can't have the illusion
I can't have the reality
I'm pushed away and shoved aside
and I don't blame them
But I see people who wear themselves
Wear themselves around their neck
and they show me my dream
the dream I want
Somehow a name painted
in fresh blood
can have the dreams I want
the dreams I've wished for
and I don't know how
I wish for a sign
I wish for someone
someone to put up a hand
and finally grab back
Because I'm sick
sick and tired
of grabbing through air

And yet the disjointed feeling works. I can feel the rhythm in the poem, as well as the raw emotion--rejected, and knowing that there's no place for the narrator to go--nobody for the narrator to turn to--but yet he still is a leader. I can emphasize with that. Wonderful job, Psy; I truly love this.
Blacky The Cat Says:
Quite nice, really. I likes it.
Jeshi Ideru Says:
Its Pretty amazing, and hard to think that its coming from Psy,
but when you say its Your Thoughts Chained together...Then its Kinda emo
Fei Lynn Says:
You okay thar, Beefy Buns? o.o This isn't like you. >___> For the most part that I've known you.
Oashisu Says:
A very emotive poem. One of the best I've read in a long time. The different subjects sort of lead into each other, so the flow of it still works out, yes. Anyways, I find it lovely, very well written and a nice rhythm.
Zero Exillerius Says:
Huh...very nice. I like it, and that's coming from someone who doesn't read a lot of poetry. Never thought I'd see something like this from you, but everyone needs to get their feelings out sometime, one way or another.
Great work Psy.
Doodlibop Says:
Why, Psy, that is incredibly beautiful. That was so touching, without being smothered with smarmyness.
Just keep your head up and keep looking. She'll grab your outstretched hand as soon as she finds it :3
Zarkanorf Says:
And I thought my stuff was sort of deep... This has a vibe to it, man!
In my opinion, disjointed poems can be more beautiful than a picture. I hope that your girl grabs your hand sooner than later!
