Stay At Home Promise

Matthew Morin

Time to go
Away from a breaking home
To see what I adored as pretty
But I stand underneath the podium
Looking at leather shoes and golden revenues
Taunted by a lingering promise
That I would be there with a soul
Sadly it was a lie
I wear the blue collar tie
Dying comes with every second gone by
Back to the home I go
To find it tampered with and shallow
And finally I see
There's nothing I can understand
Without cutting off my own head

Matthew Morin

I am 16 years old, and enjoy writing poetry to express myself. My poems never leave the internet, so the only ones to see them are you. Hopefully you find them enjoyable and maybe even enlightening. Rarely do i try to evoke a feeling of happiness with my poetry but try to show the world for what it is. Often the imagery is called gruesome or sick, and if you feel that then you get it! My day to day experiences may be enough to make me write a poem, but usually it comes from my beliefs in religion and opinions towards society that does. So about me, personally, I am an atheist (gotta love science), and a communist. These two things majorly define me and what I write. So my poems dealing with relgion derive from my atheism, and poems on society come from communism. Hope you enjoy my poetry and that it makes you feel somthing and makes you think in a different light =) more…
