Contradicting Forces

I’m so cocked,
Crooked.
I’m so torn,
Tainted.
I’m so deadly,
Dreadful,
Disgusting.

I walk so gangly,
Gaunt.
I smile so faint,
Failure.
I live so pierced,
Painstakingly,
Pieced.

You’re so calm,
Consummate.
You’re so tall,
Taking.
You’re so desirable,
Delicate,
Datable.

You walk so graceful,
Guiltless.
You smile so finely,
Figuratively.
You live so perfect,
Peacefully,
Placed.

We’re so opposite,
Other.
We’re so truth,
Talking.
We’re so different,
Discrepant,
Dissimilar.

We don’t belong.

I really love the poem.

Short concise lines, it doesn't always have to be long to be good.

I like the last stanza the most.

wow! i just love it! especially this stanza:

You walk so graceful,

Guiltless.

You smile so finely,

Figuratively.

You live so perfect,

Peacefully,

Placed.



opinionated with a tinge of sarcasm... although it makes more sense to me if "Peacefully placed" was just one line... :]
