Like a Sponge

I am a sponge that holds water
but will not let it go.
No matter how much I cry
The water stays inside,
I drown in my own sorrow
And other people's filth.
You can rinse me time and time again
But the hatred will stay with me.
I am a sponge with a mind of my own
That's locked up and not allowed to be used.
I can only come out to hear people cry
Though no one bothers to hear me do the same.
I wish to be free and escape
But I remain locked up till I am used again.
The ideas and stories I have to tell
Stay iwth me in the pits of Hell, because no one dares go in.
I am a sponge and will stay that way
Because no one has the courage to save me.
No one will bother to clean me out
And rid me of a horrid past.
No one will stay by my side
Holding me while I scream in agony.
No one will bother to look a little deeper
And realize:
I'm not a sponge, people only treat me like one.

| Oh jeez, if I can't relate to this poem, I can't relate to any other poem in the entire world. I've always considered myself to be a shoulder that other people enjoy crying on, but i think sponge is an extremely better metaphor that covers so much more than what I just said. I loved that ending most of all! It's usually the best part of your work, and it was just such an obvious ending, I mean, people can be stupid can't they? people arent SPONGES! lol, but anyways, really well done here, you've got a way with metaphors. |
