Michael Dom Poet Free verse

Cry

GOD! 
WHAT AM I?
What Am I?  what am i?…

I am less than I hoped to be
 Not, what I dreamed to be.

I am
Perfectly flawed
And framed in pain.

I have wasted my flesh
Chasing rashly, fantasies
I wished to posses

Torment is my brother
And loneliness
My closest friend

I am sinking 
Deeper and deeper
Near the end

END!

I Want It To End.
The torture,
God! Let it end, let it end…
How long, how long, …

How long will it go on 
And it was wrong
So very wrong
Again and again and again.

I am, I am
Perfectly flawed
And framed in pain.

Poet Destroyer A March 21, 2013 at 5:09 PM I'm reading this one again,,, somehow the ending seems to be the story of my life... perfectly flawed, and framed in pain.... pd Michael Dom March 22, 2013 at 9:41 PM My dear PD, if that is so then you are the epitome of Beauty.

Andrea Dietrich March 11, 2013 at 4:24 PM MIchael, this is awesome, and I sure hope it is not reflective of how you feel about your own self because we are all of us flawed but hopefully not too many are in pain! I loved the way you patterned this too, bringing us back to the third stanza again with the ending. Michael Dom March 14, 2013 at 3:34 AM I'm grand Andrea. Cheers!
