A poem I wrote in schooltime today:
Everything when you need me
Nothing when you leve me
Once you get greedy
You leve me needy
You made me feel pathetic
Our friendship: synthetic
Lightning strikes me back to reality
Leaving in my heart an empty cavity
Friendship once filled these empty holes
Life is taking its heafty tolls
My life is broken and bent
My resources are all spent
For this I am truly sorry
But you have no more need to worry.
Tell me what you think!

Re: BackStabbing Friends
Very nice.
Poems are not really something I can click with.
I like those short Japanese poems though.

Re: BackStabbing Friends
very nice indeed. simple, short and beautiful.
I also had friends at school that were pretty much the same. I think we all do.

Re: BackStabbing Friends
I feel completely forgotten by my high school friends.
Yeah I actually do understand most of them.
Easy if you know that its almost always about romanticising Death.

Fear of the unknownAs the sound of drum calls for my life,
I turn my head where sun is about to set.
There is no inn on the way to underworld.
At whose house shall I sleep tonight?

As to what I think? Well I am known for speaking my mind, this will be no exception.
I think the poem feels too forced to rhyme, as if you put the rhyming of the AA/BB/etc ahead of conveying the actual message. It doesn't seem to flow or have any good imagery or use of metaphors. I think that the poem is decent, but needs some work to be done on it. There seems to be no greater meaning to this poem and the actual meaning seems rather immature or gives off the interpretation that you made the poem simply to gain attention to yourself and your problems.

looks like you got an F- from teacher fluke D: guess he gets the old tainted apple treatment then :/
Don't let that get to you though, Fluke comes across as somewhat of a troll, but that is just how he is, every forum needs a troll or two.
I cant offer any feedback about your poem, other than I can empathise with your situation, people tend to have this nasty habit of BACKSTABBING you for critical damage when you least expect it.
