Killer

jesse lennon on Jul 24, 2009

Betrays the thoughts of a kid whose parents were murdered.That’s what I get for watching 15 most notorious women killers yesterday.

My heart is pounding,my fists are clenching, my jaw is tightening, but

When you see this person,What are you gonna say?

When you see this person,What are you gonna to feel?

That he helped killed my father and mother.

That he’s a lunatic, covered in chains locked up for enternity.

He doesn’t want you to hate , disgust or be in angurish.

He wants my sympathy, empathy and appeal.

But why should he?

All I see , when I look into his eyes is,

Yes , I killed your parents,Yes , I commited a crime.

Yes, I know you want revenge. That I know you want me in bars forever.

Yes , I want your forgiveness,

But, no you won’t have it, and I’ll forever look at you as a killer.

It seems hard to forgive someone for doing bad things. In order to be forgiven one must work through the pain of forgiving others to be forgiven.

I think you should consider using more words in the “Tags” to cover a greater span results of readers’ searches.

Very strong piece but you need to be careful with verb tense. You have a tendency to switch tense within the same line. Can interrupt the flow, and with poetry, flow is almost as important as content. There are some very strong poets on this site. Become familiar with them. Cassandra Antares,Fegger,and Alistair Briggs to mention a few.
