Poet Destroyer A Poet Free verse

Flaws

Flaws

I sleep like a prisoner, in my own dreams.
I wake up to the flaws of reality.
I meditate to this world I hate.
I live a life no one will ever appreciate.
Everything changed since the day I took my first step.
Flaws in the pride I demonstrate.
Flaws is the only way we relate.

Flaws found in every open door.
My tears fall into the flaws of the cracked  floor.
Flaws grow deeper when feelings are involved.
Watching the world as we flawlessly destroy it.
Accepting bad perception that nothing is forever.
Injecting chemicals that flow through my brain.
Spreading negative flaws that swim in my vain.
Love is a flaw that drives one insane.
Hate is the medicine that covers up pain.
Flaws! Flaws can only be covered up like a stain.

Flaws! Flaws!
Under Gods eyes.
Flaws! Flaws!
No need to cry.
Flaws! Flaws! 
Mistakes and goodbyes.
Flaws! Flaws!
Lived out till the day we die

Robin Davis January 4, 2014 at 10:10 AM Linda What a deep and powerful write. Full of emotion and feeling. You description and imagery allows the reader to be pulled into your heart and discover that no one is perfect and we all have flaws to work on. Nice job Thanks for the placement in your contest. I am flattered. Hugs

Gary Fields June 10, 2011 at 1:16 AM Flaws' and what could we have done? Flaws' are of creation and contemporary only to the times' for which they manifest themselves! A the Snail would say, take it with a grain of salt! What is good for you might not be good for me> I will subsitute a good rhym for all the flaws' in time. Keep the write up, up! Your friend in the pen/G.FIELDS

Cory Long May 28, 2011 at 8:36 PM this is wonderful nice job! cory

Andrea Dietrich May 14, 2011 at 12:20 AM PD in answer to your question, yes I am here a LOT. too much I would say but as you know,I am a bad addict! I've been dong nearly every post I make as a contest entry. So it keeps me hopping to come up with poems! I am writing more new ones than ever and killing my shoulder staying up late answering comments. How are you keeping up here??

Zzzzz Zzzzz May 13, 2011 at 6:49 AM A sober read. We are all flawed. To err is to be human. I am not proud of my flaws, but they help make up who and what I am. As long as we try not to hurt others I think we should learn to accept that we are flawed. Regards, Robert.

Dinda Minardi May 2, 2011 at 9:16 AM I agree with you. Flaws are who we are. Take care p.d. :)

Danielle Wilkerson April 29, 2011 at 6:26 AM I love the way you use actions in your poem i felt every word as if you were really there

Margeret Bailey April 6, 2011 at 7:39 PM Interesting poem, it captures life's conditions.

Daver Austin March 17, 2011 at 7:29 AM Yep! The world is no place for perfection. One will always suffer hell if he/she is a perfectionist. The other day three guys without a flaw were talking, and I said to the other two.....Just a joke to get you out of your rut. Love, Dave

Kory Calhoun February 5, 2011 at 12:52 PM Very powerful message and excellent rhyming. I enjoyed reading this very much! Best wishes, KC

Dion Bess January 28, 2011 at 9:02 PM this piece was powerful because in some cases you are right

Kevin Semeniuk January 23, 2011 at 8:34 PM as always you've created another great write! thank you for checkin out and commenting on my poem. I'm sorry my poetry sometimes leaves you feeling sad although that is the truth of our world and within that truth is the chance to be enlightened. thank you also for not refferring to it as "depressing" haha as that would be more of a reflection on me which in turn is deffinately not the case!

Carrie Richards January 23, 2011 at 4:20 PM There is no flaw on the one who's kindness shines with each comment, with each friendly word. She leaves behind her word, but along with that, she leaves the world a better place, simply by being the big heart that she is. :) This painful poem is not who I see in the beauty you are! ........

Destini Williams January 23, 2011 at 9:41 AM This poem relates to my entire life past and present. Wow... this is amazing I love it. Kepp writing like this... you'll definately get somewhere!

Ok, time to flush out the flaws with flawless stuff, pd!! hope you're in a better mood!! nonetheless what a thought provoking poem with a lot of good lines -- nikko :)

Ravindra K Kapoor January 23, 2011 at 8:29 AM In judging, the flaws of life your estimates are mind blowing. Your poem reflects some very deep feelings and reactions, but the way you have sketched this tricky word is outstanding my friend and thank you for your precious comments on my blog. Folk songs can offer you a wide range of local themes and I am quite hopeful that this new theme would provide you ample scope to use your real talents. Love and best wishes....Ravindra....Poet D.

Debbie Guzzi January 21, 2011 at 7:06 AM You see this, the above tearfilled verse is the result of zealots teaching the "bull****" of original sin. Don't you believe it honey!!! NO everything has a beauty, a reason for being, even things man has deemed "bad" they create there opposite, what we we see of know of as "good" if there was no contrast! Please don't be so upset! Light & Love

Deb Radke January 20, 2011 at 6:44 AM Wow. That is all I can say about this one. It quite takes my breath away. Incredibly powerful writing. And incredibly true, excellent and fine.
