It surrounds me.
An opportunity
at every turn.
no wonder
so many people
do it.
Every day
like bugs
to a light
we're drawn
to the sharp
the poisonous
deadly.
Never even crossed
my mind before.
I would never
act on this.
Not in
that much trouble.
What I see
is a challenge.
Forbidden fruit
for the damned.
Give me something
I can't have
and I almost
need
it.
they scream
at us all
everything we cannot
ever
ever
ever
ever do.
Little do they know
that's when my mind
sees all the ways
I could do
exactly what they wish
me not to do.
and you
can't even see.
what's right behind
you.
Wow! I really like the way this poem flows. It sounds almost eerie, rebellious, yet happy tone... Very Interesting!
ReplyDeleteI also like that you put "you" alone as the last stanza, it makes an extra emphasis too.
Very nice! :)
