In Reply to: I wrote this poem IRL, but I'm going to apply it to a bard I'm playing. I just want to know if you all find it worthy to be on CF posted by The Champ o Hearts (if you know the title you know who it is) on October 25, 2000 at 22:21:04:
> Everything in here has happened to me. I've had what seems at times to be an impossibly hard life... and recently the girl I've dated for five years basically said "I love you > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > This world has called me owned; > This world tries me be fire! > Slashed, cut, burned, bruised and raped... > You show me her eyes so cold... > Slashed, cut, burned, bruised and raped; > My heart is HARD and mad at you,
> A slave and prisoner to hurt and pain.
> Sorrow and adversity the only friends I've known
> Have kicked me while I'm down.
> Slashed, cut, burned, bruised and raped me
> To get me to the ground.
> But through all of this, hateful world
> I am still around.
> Why I can not say.
> To see if I am strong?
> To see if I'll kill myself today?
> I won't! Cruel World my hell,
> You can not kick me when I'm down
> If I have never fell.
> Now you seek to rob me too?
> To steal from me my childhood love?
> I add it to the things I wish I knew.
> You give me her heart hardened and alone
> You grab her hands and make her strike me bold!
> Can I live through this, cruel world?
> That answer I have already told.
> But today we add a new crime to your list.
> You steal the heart I just got back
> To see if I will take the razor to my wrist?
> My head is clouds of cold, dark rain
> But these feet are on the ground.
> So send your bloody hated pain,
> You can no longer push me around.
> An armor you can not penetrate.
> I'll bite my lip till it bleeds through,
> And I will press on - Treating each day like new
> So make me cold and bitter
> If that is what you wish.
> But you will never be my better,
> Cruel World, you hateful bitch.
