So Close

Poem Commentary

I never got the chance to go to state competition. my duet partner ended up having her SAT test the same weekend. but educationis important so i cant be mad at her. but boy did it suck.

So Close

I was so close to reaching my goal.
It was right within my grasp.
But then it was taken out of my reach,
Riped violently out of my hands.

I thought I was going to make it.
I thought "maybe this is my chance".
But then time was turned upside down,
And I was unable to complete my task.

Everything always contradicts its self.
Do this but don't do that.
Look but don't touch,
Touch but don't taste,
I guess life just isn't fair.

Well, I've learned to never get my hopes up,
Never allow myself to think a dream is about to come true.
Because every time I get real close,
Everything comes unglued.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
