As a child I always thought
The prince ALWAYS slays the dragon
and rescues the princess from evil hands.
So I sit, ever so patiently, waiting for the day.
Dreaming of a life that I once sought
I happen upon a memory of my dad in a stationwagon
leaving for the last time from this land.
He was in a hurry, and mother had tears in a bad way.
After running after him throwing stones,
she bent to her knees and cried.
It was cold, freezing in truth,
when she finally left that dirt spot.
wipes her face, lets out one final goan
and wisphers to herself the last thing he told her; lies.
she doesn't look at me and my youth,
As she walks in the door and locks.
I was 10 years old when I realized:
well apearently no princess is worth saving,
and princes will never trimph over evil.
That's so sad. Your words give me the imagry of a girl who feels betrayed by men or her father more so.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good poem because I can feel the emotion behind it. I almost think you don't need the last stanza...but that is my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the way this is worded :
she doesn't look at me and my youth,
I like the idea of age being something that can be looked at....and the fact that the speaker thinks this is the primary thing that is looked at.
the last stanza is added because i wanted it not to follow the rhyme scheme any more.. it's like the girl had already given up so there was no point to continue.
ReplyDeleteThats so good Mason, and its true too (: I love the story behind it.
