Will I Write about Rejection?

11/12/10

Kloyde Caday

 

Will I write about rejection?

The thought of being doomed,

The dark alleys, failed resurrection,

The consequences when you assume?

 

Will I cry out,

Scream the loudest!

Until I forget how to shout,

Since I’m weary to protest?

 

Will I encounter

The dead skeletons,

Which I hide somewhere,

Buried for so long?

 

Will I write again?

But I wished not to;

I threw the thought away

For it will be of no use, I knew.

 

Then I write again,

Because I have to,

Exhume the pain

Inside the shoe.

 

And here I am.

Deprived by light,

Given only a dimmed lamp,

But still I write.

 

But still I write

Till the papers run out,

Till the pen is tired,

And the rhymes aren’t found.

 

… Will I write about rejection?

Or have I just done?

So will I be proud or dwell in lamentation,

And let these flames surround?

It says it ALL. This is actually an experiment integrating rhetorical questions in the poem. What do you think about the poem and the style? Is it effective? Peace!
