Calling it Quit.

I can't ask why you did it;
My pride keeps me sedated.
I can't bash you, this time
My pride keeps me sedated.

I do wish, though-if I'm worthy of one-
That you'd slip a bit
So I can find the answers,
If you'd just slip up a bit.

There's just the bit of calling it quits,
Of walking away my dignity.
There's the bit accepting defeat and
Of walking away my dignity

*I'm not sure which category this falls into. I sorta took the old YWS for granted where it gave a quick reminder on the cats before one would upload :/ Let me know if I have it wrong.

Like goldenrebel, i had a little bit of difficulty following this poem, but I loved the rythm of this poem. It was beautifully written, and I thought it was pretty good! i liked how you repeated phrases in each stanza... I thought that that was pretty cool. Thanks for this poem, and keep writing!

P.S. I just wanted to add I liked how this was nice and short.

I suppose having the idea in my head of what I want it to be, I dodnt bring it across that well :/ Basically, think of....a relationship, yeah! Now it's crumbling. Tha thing to do is walk away right? But you want answers, to get angry, but the idea of putting more emotions out there (you are proud and pride yourself mostly in self control let's say) keeps you from doing that. Instead, you will yourself to to accept it's unrepairable and move on. Read it again, and see if you see that? Or something else just for you. Thanks for the read review <3

I kinda had trouble following this poem and I was not able to really relate to it. I'm not sure what I don't like about it, I suspect it's just the genre that you chose to use. Also I liked how you grouped the poem into three paragraphs which readers always like to look at. I'd give it a 4.0/5

Thanks for reading and your review. I tried to make it as mundane in words so the subject could be as ambiguous yet poignant as possible. I suppose it means anything the read wants it to mean, and for me what i want it to mean. I was thinking maybe, having something useless but still holding on to it even if it does the opposite of good simply because you've grown used to it. Hey, that's a high rating :)
