A Rude Awakening
Curious
she made the rules
and i agreed to play
but lost a little bit of me
each day along the way
afraid of what i might do
not sure of what i could say
just hung on tight for the ride
but like the fastest roller coaster
keep going on again and again
the luster soon wears off
you need a new thrill to begin
i’ve known for a long time
if i wanted to stay
this was the way it would be
so i swallowed my pride
kept riding that ride
wondering if it might change
but it won't

"I though it was too transparent. Too obvious. Like as if you weren't doing to be artistic and helpful or make some important literary contribution, but rather to get some relationship issue off your chest. Like you wanted to confess to the world wide web. sorry. I am an asshole. look, try to think about what the reader would be interested in listening to. No, I'm not an expert or acedemically trained. I just know that this wonderful forum for writers is being polluted by cliched emotional purgers and being turned into a chatroom. Your poem did not have any impact on MY (another person besides yourself) idea of love, hope, sex, coffee, enjoyment women, men, writing, birds, honey, bees or writing itself. you really have to try harder." -- the rube.
"thanks for taking the time to read it, sorry it wasn't to ur liking. ur entitled to an opinion and u do express yourself clearly so there's no doubt of the way u feel and that's cool. as for u being an asshole, well u would know but it really is a bit too much info." -- curious.
"Hey dude, This site is for anybody to put up anything they want. It's your decision if you want to venture in and read what they have to say. Even more so, comment on it. You should use some of that energy and directional flow to change the world or something but for now, this machine works. Dickhead. Curious, thanks for bringing this one out and dusting it off. The stanza's are great. Nice touch. And thanks for always being there to read and comment" -- kwilt.
"Wow I really like this, I thought it was really moving. I didn't think there were such domineering and manipulative women out there! :)" -- Tamsin Butler.
"thanks for the review tasmin, always nice to hear from someone new" -- curious.
"Thanks for the compliment on Join Society and keep up the fine work on your writing! Matthew@" -- Matthew Mark@, USA.
"I really like this one Curious, a geat perspective, made me think about past relationships and realise how true this is" -- Briony.
"The words really came from the heart. Some men can be that destructive too and I can relate as I've been their to, though a good few years ago. teaches you how to spot the bastards " -- Kate Kerrison.
