Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

Creep

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so  special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna a perfect body
I wanna a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so ' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

Lyrics to Creep by Radio Head



You stare at my ebony
skin, and say  it's too
dark . You say my nose
is too wide and my lips 
are too full.
I think something is
wrong with me. 
Am I not beautiful?
You stare at me and 
call me fat because I'm 
not a size 5.
I think something is 
wrong with me. 
Am I not beautiful? 
I wish you could see 
that I'm the same as you.
Why do you make me
feel like I don't belong or
like something from outer
space? When I'm a part
of the human race.
You hate me for know 
reason. I don't want to 
be here , nor do I want 
stay here.

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 12, 2016 at 12:37 PM I love this poem, Alexis. It is gritty, hard-hitting in-your-face truth-telling. My kind of territory. You don't shy away from controversy. You say: I'm dealing it out, so deal w/it. Cool writing this poem is. Much love from the RW.

Joanna Daniel November 12, 2016 at 3:01 AM This is fitting for the contest, but I hope this is fictional, Alexis:) Alexis Y. November 12, 2016 at 9:33 AM Hi Jo, It's for the contest these days. But I did feel like this at one point in my life. Thanks for asking and stopping by:-) Alexis

CayCay Godwin November 10, 2016 at 8:27 PM This better NOT be how you feel or I'll have to come there AGAIN. For the contest, it is great, for real life, not so good. You put a lot of emotion into angst and wrote a hard hitting poem, Alexis. Good luck in the contest, beautiful one ... CayCay Alexis Y. November 10, 2016 at 8:30 PM Woah! Moma CayCay, It's just for the contest . I promise. Thanks for your concern. I appreciate your support: -) Alexis

Maurice Yvonne November 10, 2016 at 8:28 AM Good luck in the contest with this sad but poignant write.

Chris Green November 9, 2016 at 6:18 PM It sounds like he is the creep to me. This sounds angry but it seems to be only acting as a screen for the hurt. This is sad Alexis but I think it fits that contest nicely. Good luck my friend.
