Lost and Found

Lost and Found

Abandoned, disgraced, rejected, erased
So embarrassed of my body that I ate up all my pain
Always so bitter, looking for my Mrs. Sweet
I was downing Little Debbies always looking at my feet
Wore the shame on my face and youโ€™d hear it in my voice
Not a choice I could make without feeling like a toy
Played with by the world and my family did the same
Every night in the mirror Iโ€™d have myself to blame
I canโ€™t go back but I remember where I started
Right here I choose the path to heal the broken hearted.ย

Hey MATTHEW!!.... this comes across as lighthearted on first read through...... but.... it has quite a serious poetic message underlying its clever phrasing and near-perfect metering!!...... you have a fine sense ofย rhythm and timing, so much so that this could easily be a lyric line if paired with the right music.... lines like ~

ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย  ~ "Played with by the world, and my family did the same
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย  Every night in theย mirror I'd have myself to blame....."

haveย such smooth eloquence that its quite easy to miss the totality which. Of course, is speaking directly to the hurt & humiliation that goes along with the shame felt by those who struggle with weight and body image frustrations..... which, of course, have serious psychiatric/psychological ramifications in this crazy world of ours..... this is VERY well delivered poetic verse with humor and clever phrasing that shines a well deserved light on subject matter that definitely deserves the light!!......ALL STARS!!..... well done dear poet brother!!..... and.....WELCOME to COSMO!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo ?โœดโค

I like to meter out my poems beforehand, and it always jars me out of writing when a syllable is out of place. But, It would seem I have no complaints. It is in perfect meter, and flawless syllabically.

-And Congratulations on your Win. I don't hold grudges.ย
