Array ( [sid] => 180666 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Wrong Direction [time] => 2015-03-01 03:16:50 [hometext] => A poem for someone who needs to learn self-respect, and to stop chasing me like a puppy-dog. [bodytext] => I will no longer show
Mercy for your pride
I refuse to be a catalyst
For your will to have tried

You are bound by your delusions
Seeking refuge in distortions
You obsess over my illusions
With projections of your proportions

You don't respect yourself
And so instead you worship me
When your words and thoughts, should not have had been said
You threw them in the open, where everyone could see

You feel alone
Like you're lost at sea
Accepting no responsibility
Thus you blame it all on me

There needs to be a change
An attempt to make things right
Because I can't do it for you
Instead I'd rather fight

I am not your blessing
A source of some perfection
And if you do not learn, to stay away from me
You will always be, for the wrong direction [comments] => 9 [counter] => 301 [topic] => 21 [informant] => xHeathenx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
The Wrong Direction

Topic: Lifepoems



I will no longer show
Mercy for your pride
I refuse to be a catalyst
For your will to have tried

You are bound by your delusions
Seeking refuge in distortions
You obsess over my illusions
With projections of your proportions

You don't respect yourself
And so instead you worship me
When your words and thoughts, should not have had been said
You threw them in the open, where everyone could see

You feel alone
Like you're lost at sea
Accepting no responsibility
Thus you blame it all on me

There needs to be a change
An attempt to make things right
Because I can't do it for you
Instead I'd rather fight

I am not your blessing
A source of some perfection
And if you do not learn, to stay away from me
You will always be, for the wrong direction

sounds like a teen band from England...
My daughter hates those guys
which of course makes me glad

Peace!

You tell them if you want to say what's on your mind put it into a poem I did with my poem "I win you lose" I enjoyed reading this and the words flowed perfectly.

Emotive piece full of strength...This seems to have several layers to it.
Some people aren't comfortable with added responsibility. Maybe you are afraid you will lead them astray? Seeking outside guidance is a natural human quality, but you are right, we should not place our happiness in someone else's hands.

Thought provoking. Thanks for posting.

A most adept, poetic ticking off. I suppose it might appear rather harsh at first glance, but when the warnings are ignored, strong, up-front action is the best policy. Hope the message hits home.

Some people just can't see themselves so they look for justification in someone else. I have experienced this type.

DAMN GOOD!
I will no longer show
Mercy for your pride
I refuse to be a catalyst
For your will to have tried

PERFECT.

With projections of your proportions

THAT STANZA NAILD IT! AND BROUGHT IT TOGETHER

You don't respect yourself
And so instead you worship me
When your words and thoughts, should not have had been said
You threw them in the open, where everyone could see

ON A SCALE ONE TO TEN THESE FOUR LINES MADE THE RATING OBSOLETE. AWSOME.


Like you're lost at sea

I MIGHT LOOK FOR SOMTHING MORE CURRENT. CATASTROPHY? MOCKINGLY? WEEK WILLED APPARENTLY? SOMETHING A LITTLE MEANING AND POINT POINTED FOR OUR TIMES. ITS HARD FOR OUR TECHNOLOGICAL RETARDS TO UNDERSTAND LOST AT SEE.

THE ID RATHER FIGHT LINE

HELL YEAH HIS ACTIONS MADE YOU UNDERMINE YOUR JUDGMENT.

GREAT.

I am not your blessing

INSTEAD I MIGHT OF SAID.....

IM NO LONGER YOUR OBSESSION
IVE HEARD TO MANY OF YOUR CONFESSIONS
TO MANY TIME YOU FAILD IN CORECTION
THATS WHY ITS THE END OF OUR PROGRESSION.

I typed that quick, of the top, but very very good.

that was a super poem.
tell me more
that's a cliffhanger
