Poetry / Taste it

We’ve all seen you come and go
Thinking you’re too cool for this show
We’ve looked and seen how you grin and smile
We’ve all stood by wasting time laughing at your style

Too funny how you think you’re on top of it all
Funnier still to stand by and watch you take the fall
It was bound to happen… we all knew
But to see that look on your face… you had no clue

Little Miss Perfect, tasting everyone’s wine
Have you ever bought your own bottle? maybe it’s time
Play around too long and you’ll forget who to be
Tho have you ever known, care to tell me?

I won’t push you, but I won’t give you my hand
It’s your own fault for heading straight into the quicksand
I won’t say I told you so, but I will stand by and wait
Wait for you to taste… to taste your own hate.

I love the 3rd stanza, and the first 3 lines of the last stanza.  The only thing I can honestly say I don’t like is the very last line.  I think the rest is straightforward and sends a clear and powerful message.  However, the last 2 stanzas seem to be written with more … not feeling, but passion.  This is overall a very well written poem, but I like the 2nd half more because it seems to be more passionate about the subject matter.

Hello there,

I have mixed feelings about this poem I like some of the lines especially “Play around too long and you’ll forget who to be
Tho have you ever known, care to tell me?”. However I feel it doesn’t flow well it feels a bit disjointed in places, I feel if it could flow and roll of the tounge better It would be an improvement.

I enjoyed reading this piece. I liked the irony of little miss perfect, and the hasty suggestions the narrator gives to her. This would make a great song, I think. Very excellent prose and even better unique style. Very modern, yet not monotone. I enjoyed this all the way.
