Try This On For Size

In Poetry

try this on for size
all the places that you call home
never want you there
so your all alone

try this on for size
all the feelings that you have
fill you up like crazy
boiling your skin
breaking your heart

try this on for size
there's fire between your legs
scorching like 10 million candles hurting you
men taking advantage of you over and over again

try this on for size
feeling like a murderer
knowing that you
got an abortion
because you're to young to be a mother

try this on for size
lying to everyone
telling them you're innocent
because you're tired of their faces
looking so ashamed after hearing the truth

try this on for size
I did.

That was very well written and thought provoking. I liked the repitition of 'try this on for size'. Really brings the message home.

It sounded rather bitter and angry, or is that just the way I interpreted it?
