    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this poem as a warning for women to not settle for scraps in a relationship, you should be receiving the main course not the left overs.

    Scraps

     Feel empty settling for leftovers
    Feel hollow hoping for the best.
    I've never been one to keep my
    feelings in check and secret.
    I am not a woman that can sit
    quiet in a corner.
    I should have known things
    would be like this.
    What have I done?
    What have I become?
    Look at me I'm the other
    woman complaining about the
    time I get with a man that isn't
    mine to claim.
    How did I come to be in this
    situation?
    I may never understand my logic.
    I'm not your one and only,
    I don't play well with others.
    This arrangement that seemed so right,
    so good, so true, to good to be true,
    has run it's course.
    I have learned what you were sent to
    teach me.
    I don't know how to share and I should
    never try to share again.
    I have blossomed into a better person
    and I thank you, but my days of
    waiting for scraps are over.

    This metaphor is brilliant, and you word the poem well. You get your point across, but you keep your head. Very mature, but very powerful at the same time. Loved it :)

    Thank you for reading and responding to my poem and I will check out your poem dirty little secret.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
