You say i'm no good to work with
You say i'm no use to any of you
You say all my efforts are useless
You say you all want me to leave

I say it's hard for an eagle to saw when
it's working with turkeys. Soon i will saw
leaving all you turkeys to the buchers

interesting concept and good use of metaphor. However I suggest using spell check, I know it sounds nasty, but it puts you off reading. Soar - Saw. Good effort, short but sweet. Its good to write these kind of poems to get demons outta ya system.
OK

I'm sure the poem is from the heart but, I wonder: seems like the problem may lie with the poet....Nah.... everyone else is wrong. But on the other hand; the mote is always easier to see than the beam. We're all subject to this failing. You do have poetic potential though. God bless

Your writing is short sweet and to the point. A good effor. You need to keep working on your technique. Too much thought can get you in trouble, but so too can not enough.
