Roar

Contributed by hauntedscorp on Saturday, 2nd November 2013 @ 11:17:46 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



The crown you wear is a court jester hat
I extended an olive branch and in return you spat

Your hatred is a cellophane disguise
I am a friend, not a "fan", so please revise

Take it or leave it, our words always connect
I see in you a lifeless body that I want to resurrect

Being a narcissist is so passé,
Push your inflated ego out of the way

We are both lost in the jungle with no one to help
I came looking for a lion, but you let out a yelp.

I so love that line "Your hatred is a cellophane disguise". Excellent!

steals it for use at a later date hoping no one will notice

Sounds like this friend has some issues.... 'I am a friend, not a "fan" '

Egos die hard.

Hope this story ends well too.

Thank you my Scorpendous friend for another enjoyable read.

"Being a narcissist is so passé" we all need to hear this now and again!
"We are both lost in the jungle with no one to help
I came looking for a lion, but you let out a yelp."
I like what you're saying here, although it's tough to take sometimes even from a friend. You connect well here with this poem! Great voice!

Thanks!
Peace!

I'm with Tim, the "cellophane disguise" line
really spoke to me. In fact this entire piece is
like a beacon, banging against the side of my
skull. I love the emotion that always swells
inside your poetry.


SO glad that you are back and writing like the
impossibly talented Scorpy I know. ^_^

Well there is certainly no disguising your talent for this form we call poetry.
Seems to be a guarantee that whatever you write distinguishes itself by the words you use and they way you thread them together.
This is certainly no throwaway poetry, yet again!!

some intelligent phrasing around a heartfelt plea. Let's hope the message gets through!

It's always interesting to reflect on those who have turned out to be less worthy then we have anticipated. I especially like how your ending of being disappointed and let down seems to not have suprised you. It's almost as if you knew all along , there was no lion , just a weak pathetic excuse instead.

Amen and amen. this is well penned. ever in your scorpy style. I love how you make reference to hatred being just a disguise. we often don't look deep enough into another to see the front they putting up to protect themselves
