DarkPoetry -|- manunkind -|- i reek of inferiority

i reek of inferiority

like a shrimp among whales
i listen to you as you tell your tale
who am i to speak these hopeful words?
when so many go unheard?
an artist of thoughts
a weaver of words
pride like a golden medal
a deadly sign pinned upon my vest
a constant dagger to the chest
leaving the blood of arrogance on my hands
and the flesh of vanity on my lips

i thought
i guess i thought too soon

i see hatred in a mirrored room
hold her in a box of glass
treat her
as one of artemis' silvery shafts
quick death
upon innocent youth
number the hatred arrows that you shoot
inferiority
emotion
i reek of it
as if i drank a bottle of alchoholic
second class
fill me up another glass
mix in some poison
a stupor of bitter remorse
if you wont let me have the world
should i take it by force?
fall off
bleed
get back on the horse
be humbled
nature can write better than you
be humbled
there are so many people better than you

I will always respect the writers who go against the popular view. You do so in a way that continues to amaze me.

anyway i think this one is supposed to be read slowly. really take it in. once this is done you feel the superioty stabbing this poem. Although i was a bit confused at first i can now see the frusteration

please it's impossible that someone here hasn't had a low selfesteem. i for one used to be anorexic. that's beside the point. i can't believe i thought this of mrs.buttler! ugh such a moron. i for one

So what if others are better? With writers like Velvet or Cre around i cant hope to be the best poet. I damn well know i'm not the best person around. I'm just... me.
