The role we play

My opinion on roles in my relationships.

We are all cast in a role when it comes to life

But we don't always get to choose

I play the role of friend

Trust me, that wasn't my first pick

My friend, however, got the lead role

The role of the girl being courted 

Whereas I am stuck here to help

But I'm just losing my mind trying

I have the script in my hand and I follow it

But I want to go off book

If I do, I will become the thief and the crook

The selfish one who doesn't care

I don't want to be the villain, yet I am

The director said I was second

But second, is the first to lose

My chances are slim, not that I have any

But at least I came in second for the win

WOW I can't believe that you're only 15! When I was writing at 15, my work was just a sloppy mess.
You're really talented with lots of potential to become an amazing writer!
Second is the first to lose... I really thought about that. How it is so true. But no matter how hard we work, that doesn't give us the excuse to not give it our all!
Keep up the great work!

Your friend,

Thanks! My work is still a sloppy mess, I just edit a lot.

I must say that I like your bravery in choosing topics. Your bravery encourages me to try other more personsal pieces.

Thanks, well I don’t know anyone on here, at least in my day to day life, so I don’t mind posting personal poems. Thanks for your reviews! I’m glad you liked it!

The decision to accept a role to play is often based on a potential payoff. The freedom of playing "off book" is usually much more engaging and hold one in charge of the risk and the payoff.

lol your work is so refreshing go off the book the villains are always oh so much more interesting

[AllauraRose]

I will try if/when I cam. Thanks for your feedback!

I like the flow of this, without rhyming (which most poetry I enjoy does) it still flows musically, which struck me as odd at first because it read like a conversation (also unique). I think you constructed a remarkable example of poetry that breaths naturally without any needed rhyming scheme. (I have no idea what I'm talking about) But I truly enjoyed it :)

Thank you so much for your amazing review! I really appreciate the review!

[AllauraRose]

Sorry, I mean I really appreciate your feedback. I'm about to fall asleep and didn't realize I said that twice.

Your poetry really speaks to me. We cover similar themes but it’s in the honest and direct way you communicate. I really enjoy it.

The last two lines are my favorite. So powerful!

Thank, I’m glad you liked it! Yeah we do write about similar things, just in different ways.
