If this is a game of hide and seek,
I’m over here.
If this is a fairground ride,
I want to get off.
If this is a horror movie,
I’m struck with fear.
If this is a play,
I want my money back.
If this is a TV program,
I’m turning over.
If this is a punishment,
I’d have preferred a smack.
If this is a nightmare,
I want it to stop.
If this is a game,
I don’t want to play.
If this is a bubble,
I want it to pop.
If this is a story,
I’m turning the page.
If this is a fight,
I’m turning away.
If this is a kidnap,
I’m trapped in the cage.
If this is a silly attempt to upset me,
Take a bow.
If this is a life,
End it now.
Very well done. I like the harsh truth to it. This is just how some people view life and to have the courage to write about such freyed emotions is not in everyone.
This one is absolutely great, you expressed the vileness of life with such strength and directness. Amazingly you expressed how I feel better than I do. Take care, Mary xxx
I'm impressed. Your use of example of situations that bother you really help to bring this poem to life. Good job! ~Linley~
