The Other Half

Half god and half devil, however do you split that?

The war, the battle, however do you fix that?

The fight, the cage, which one do I surrender?

It's become impossible to decide and there is no one in which I can confide.

 

Living in calamity, watching illusions envelope me, the feeling of falling into insanity where no one will ever catch me ...

I fell right in front of you, and you just let me go, I asked you to embrace me and you just said no.

Do you know how much it hurts to let go of the one thing that could ever save you?

Do you know how much it hurts to be the one who could never embrace you?



The pain in my heart, in my head, in my lungs ...

The pain in my mind, in my dreams, on my tongue ...

The pain of illusions, of lies, and deceit ...

The pain of my youth, of my life, of mine own heart beat ...

 

I begged you for a chance.

For a chance to prove my worth.

But instead you turned away and cast me to the earth.

 

Every moment, every second, every memory ...

The lies, the pain, the blood red rain that boils inside of me ...

 It's all for you, it's all for you! Can't you see, it was all for you?

Every time you shut me out, every time you turned away, my heart still cried and yearned for you, every single day.

 

Did you not see the tears I cried, nor hear my screams of pain?

Did you not realize, I tried everything in vain?

I did my best, I played the part, I worked to be enough

But you still turned away.

And every single day, I realized, with tears in my eyes ...

That I could never be good enough.

 

For no matter what I did, no matter how I tried, you still couldn't see past the fact, that everything about me was not as simplified ... as you.

 

For I am half god half devil, half heir half enemy and you could never see past the other half of me.

For even though I did my best, and passed the test, and did enough to earn your blessing, you just couldn't give it to me, could you?

Now I see, no matter what I do, you will never love me.

For I am half god and half devil, half prince and half beast, half love and half anger, and you can't love me ...

For a monster such as I, could never change, not in thine eye ...

For I am nothing but a monster that you keep locked away, and even though I wish to prove to you, every single day, that I can be better, I can be more ...

You can never see past that other half of me, now can you?

Nice job! It's pretty good, do you already have any experience writing poems? Because it looks like it's not your first one. Very good rhymes and decent vocabulary.

On the way, welcome to the club.

I've been writing poems since I was a child and I know this one isn't very good but it's one of my older ones. I recently found a file on my laptop with all my old poems on it and I thought I'd post a few on here even though they're not all that good.

I see, that sounds pretty good, we'll be glad to have them here for us to read.
