Hey! Guys, one review? Are you freakin' serious? I'm going to stop reviewing for people of you guys don't stop being so uptight with reviews...anyways! Title credit goes to Paramore because I love that song "Misguided Ghost". It's great, YouTube it if you can.






Watching myself,
repeating myself,
always trying to cheat myself.

What went wrong?
I was so close.
I could smell my fate,
it shivered my toes.

Was I not to die?
I thought I was,
It's what I wanted,
How was it wrong?

They didn't care,
But neither did I,
So long I lived,
just wanting to die.

Curiosity had stuck in my head,
What would it feel like,
to sleep your life dead,


So here I lie,
when will it come?
Too short a date,
have I set it upon?

Do my eyes tear for no reason?
Maybe it's the cold,
the lonely wet season.

Winter, not a happy time,
If not for the weather,
I'm sure it'd be fine.

I wait for the sun,
I wait for the hero,
to say 'please, oh please don't go!'

But I should say this into a mirror,
it's me that needs help,
it's me that is bitter,

I look inside behind the looking glass,
a creepy appearance,
I cannot let pass,

Did my hair always look like that?
Was it always so dull,
was it always so black?

I thought my skin was a bit more tanned,
a glowing cold white,
as I touched with my hand.

Maybe I shouldn't,
'but maybe you should!'
Shut up, stupid brain,
you won't do any good!

Sit here and wait,
'til the season passes,
spreads some love,
with the tree's golden ashes,

A thought of mine,
turned to and from deception,
I'm just a misguided ghost,
of my own reflection.



I'm quite the fan of rhymes! Ha! Let me know what you think. What I was reaching towards with this poem was that in the beginning and for most of the poem, it was kind of (very) negative. But, towards the end came out with a new outlook and told something a little bit true. We are all misguided ghosts of our own reflections. I believe it anyways. So feedback would be great! If you would like a review from me then put the link in the review. Peace out!

Holy smoke! This poem is amazing. I loved it!
Maybe I shouldn't,
'but maybe you should!'

This was by far my favorite line in the poem. I do agree this poem was quite negative, but I think the positive at the end balanced everything out.


But, there was a few lines that didn't settle with me.

What went wrong?
I was so close.
I could smell my fate,
it shivered my toes.

The last line sticks out a bit too much to me. I don't know what it is about, and I don't really know how to fix it either leaving it the way it is, taking it out, or rephrasing it.


Curiosity had stuck in my head,
What would it feel like,
to sleep your life dead,

It might just be me, but I don't really understand what your trying to say in this line. Does it mean sleeping all the time or dieing? You might want to make it more clear. I did like the sound of the line though.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Much love,
