I wish you wouldn’t

by Samsal


I wish you wouldn’t look at me
With lust in your eyes,
As you slowly examine me.

Wish you wouldn’t lick your lips,
As you look at the swell of my breast
Though small, and stare at my lips.

Wish you wouldn’t make advances at me
And tell me how pretty I look,
while trying to brush up against me

I wish you didn’t try to feel,
the roundness of my hips
And the contours of my body

Wish you wouldn’t regard me
as something to feed a hunger,
like some piece of meat.

Did you ever wonder my name?
My goals? My dreams?
I am a human being!

I will not allow myself to be used
and I pity you.
For this is how you live your life

You feed off of others,
but you will not do the same to me.
I will not let you bring me down.

You are beneath me
I am better than you ever will ever know
And ever will be.

Actually, I said they are a little bit strange when you connect them with the four verse stanzas, not that they are ALL weird.... And the four verse stanzas should be rephrased, edited...

hahahah, wow.

Just, just great.

Beyond me laughing at just being caught off guard by half of it, it is very well put together, its one of those poems that basically embodies the 'No, dont" feeling we all get every once and a while.

I liked it, and as for improvements, well they've all been pointed out so all I can say is good job regardless.

This is so so true.
But at some parts it's kind of hard to read.
The three verse stanzas are a bit odd like the others said.
Also, I couldn't really get a rythmn going either.
Your lines are short, then long, then short, and doesn't carry throughout the whole piece, and consistency makes it much easier to read.
Other then that though, it was very good.

Wish you wouldn’t regard me

You're kind off saying ...things...without any feelings for them... Put an "!" somewhere if you're angry...
I also fixed the commas...
Explosive pen mentioned something about stanzas....4 vs. 3 verses...I don't know ..it works fine for me, but not completely. It has better ways to do that...

Hello! I really did love this poem. However, I believe some nitpicks will be necessary, no?

Samsal wrote:I wish you wouldn’t look at me that way Delete the "that way". It works fine without that, and it shortens the line so it flows better.
With lust in your eyes,
As you slowly examine me.

Wish you wouldn’t lick your lips,
As you look at the swell of my breast Yeah, I know how feel here. xD
Though small and stare at my lips. Comma after small to seperate the thoughts.

Wish you wouldn’t make advances at me
And tell me how pretty I look, You don't need this comma.
while trying to brush up against me

I wish you didn’t try to feel, Again, you don't need this comma.

I will not allow myself to be used. There're some wonderful lines in this stanza; however, the four-line doesn't fit with the three-line stanzas that dominate this poem.

I pity you.
For this is how you live your life,
feeding off of others

I will not let you bring me down.
You are beneath
I am better than you ever will ever know
And ever will be. Again, this four-line stanza doesn't fit.



Overall? I love the message. I know I've felt like this once or twice. xD





Don't sit down and write because you're a writer; sit down and write because you have something to say. And if the sea of ideas isn't flowing, well, just tell me about your day.
