Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If by name your Twisted,
Then you'd best count me in!.
I Have lived in places,
That you have never seen!.

I Have felt the Anger,
The Pain and the Wrath!.
I have the Scars to prove it!.
There's no denying that!.

For Every mile you have walked,
I have walked ten more!.
Lived on the Streets,
Been Raped,so many times before!.
Slept,!.!.!. where I have Fallen!.
Knives,!.!. held to my Throat!.

Threats I've had them all!.
What a bloody joke!.

I've lived through fear,
And Darkness,
Pitch black holes,
I've dug!.
Cried my self an Ocean!.
Wishing I had Love!.
I Walked around,
A Zombie,
Numb from head to toe!.
Anyone that crossed me,
Well, that was their tough luck!.

I Lacked Pride , And
Emotions,!.!.!.I Truly could not show!.
Hung around with ***, holes!.
The only ones I'd know!.

Like you I bleed!.
Weak, I never was!.
Through out my Pain,
My going insane, I Know
I learnt a lot!.

So after clawing my way back,
Into reality, I truly Understand,
How Filthy Life can be!.

One thing I held on tight too,
Never to let go!.
The feelings that I have,
For all those that I know!.

If I Ever had to live,
That Life I had again!.
To be the Person,
I've Become!.
It was not all in Vain!.

Where people become famous for their achievements and popular due to their contributions to society!. You expect the same because others would be afraid to walk a mile in your shoes!. However you what you are, the path you naturally walk will not be noticed by others for it does not effect them!.

You seek some sense of justice to tip the scales in your favor when you say you pity them or step aside as if your way is the right way!. Keep in mind there is no sympathy for self inflicted wounds, if they be from fear or courage!. For it sounds like you pity them because you feel they pity you!.

Yet ultimately there is no justice to be swayed to either side, you do as much of a injustice to yourself as the people you pity do onto themselves!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is interesting!. Anger and disgust have their place!. Writing it down is cathartic!. In the long run, don't expect sympathy or dollars for angry poetry, but writing it away DOES free the mind for higher pursuits!.

Very well written!. You are obviously literate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It didn't really sway me because!.!.

1!. Your personal situations don't particuarly interest me
2!. The language you used sounds low brow and angry!.

These are easily changed, and I can tell that the energy you have in writing will help you create some wonderful poems/ verses!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Would be a good paragraph in a story, but by itself!.!.!.!.!? Hmm, doesn't quite work for me as a poem, I'm afraid!. Would work as a voice-over for some grim and gritty, hard-boiled detective movie though!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think this is amazing, a powerful, succinct treatment!. And I can relate to the subject well!. There is a place for anger in poetry and you have expressed it quite well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The opalescence of a pearl
is never flawless
Nor a diamond dug from earth
But polish the edges though
and with time and care
shine reveals, flaws and allWww@QuestionHome@Com
