It’s Okay
Posted by sarah flanigan under Creative Writing, Poetry, changing times, fresh out, goodbyes, my heart, reality, word games, writing
It’s okay
push me away
if I’m a threat
to your peace of mind
It’s okay
turn your back
if I’m the cause
of some sorta flack
I’m okay
with your disrepect
your false smiles
and instant reject
Push the button
and then I’m gone
Never happened
unsung that song
Time ain’t nothin’
and neither am I
just someone
who apparently died

“…I’m a threat/to your peace of mind”
“time aint nothin’/and neither am I”
“Never happened/unsung that song”
Great, great lines these are, creative and powerful good.
i wish i could write good rhyme.

kind of you to say, christine, but your writing is incredible. so eloquent and real. i’ll trade you my rhyme for your depth.

I have to admit, the picture was a bit creepy.
do you really think so? i love the picture. it’s called crying woman. i suppose for me, it’s all about capturing visually what my words are trying to say.

unsung that song. You know me and music. wow. *bites lip* more than feel this one, Sarah. Love the picture. Ali
ali,
that’s the ultimate compliment ‘more than feel this one’ thank you, dear.

I felt like constructing a bubble for the protagonist to sit in during this .
good one
hello darling boy, where have you been? a bubble? hmm…interesting - do they get a guitar too?

I really like this, the title is just a tad sarcastic..and thats great!
Kelly
hi kel,
good to see you again. how is your new life treating you? yes, sarcastic - probably more than a tad, though - and that’s the way i like it.

This excellent poem also sound like it could be a song. My favorite stanza is the following:
“Push the button
and then I’m gone
Never happened
unsung that song.”
This just rocks! I wish I had written it..
hello again,
i had a period when everything i wrote had a sort of rap backbeat to it - this is one of those. i think i was feeling particularly attitude-ish at the time. i’m flattered that you wished you wrote it - you couldn’t say anything nicer to a writer, could you? thanks, so much.
