The Price of Such Beauty is Pain

Sometimes to know beauty, you have to know pain

Clouds, a cloud: Hear me as I speak aloud

Though I've got not much more to say

Got so much on my mind with so little time

But rejoice for this feeling shall stay

 

Choices, a choice: To find and use your voice

Search the right words with which to speak

To convey your message to all thats near

And guide you towards what you seek

 

Saviours, a saviour: To do one last favor

Burn all of your demons alive

Discover what's good deep inside

And vanquish that on which they thrive

 

Shouts, a shout: What it's all about

A way you can vocalize pain

Or anger or fear or all of the above

Without nasty scars 'long a vein

 

Sings, a song: And we all sing along

A tune we all once knew so well

Violence and wreckage distraught by peace

And Heaven defined by Hell

 

Think, a thought: With all you've got

Grab a pen and write it down quick

If I don't get it down: This beaty I found

I think I just might be sick

 

Tears, a tear: One for each fear

For once not embodied by stress

Or sadness, despair, lack of strength

But the joy of not having to guess

 

Lose, a loss: Like a dime you toss

You've broke free of the sickness' grip

You are finally free and here with me

Take my hand and you shall not slip.

 

Clutches, a clutch: Grips reality too much

And faith has gone straight to waste

If you shall loosen your hold, believe once again

Then sweetness is all you shall taste.

This I really enjoyed your repartition is I think what makes the poem the very readable piece that it is. I know that I couldn't wait to get to the next verse and the next and the next. well you get the idea.
Keep writing you are very good at this!

I agree, the repetition was gold. Lots of emotion packed in here as well. Great!

I liked how you repeated the words within the poem, it made the point go through a lot more. Liked the story that was told in this poem. Good work :3
