The writings of Oddpoet
I like shiny things, I'm very superficial.

Imperfect Creature

I’ve been forged in the white hot heat of pas­sion
I’ve been annealed and tem­pered in the fur­nace of Despair
I’ve been honed and sharp­ened by teacher Pain
I’ve spent time amid the home­less
And writ­ten poems with the insane



I am the cylin­der that mis­fired
Pointed at my head
I am the bro­ken rope
Wealed and con­gealed
Upon my throat
Even Death rejects me



I am the scarred man
The imper­fect crea­ture
Fun­nels run down my cheeks
Home for famil­iar tears



While you are edg­ing your lawn this week­end
And putting down the weed and feed
Know we are out there



Watch­ing…
Wait­ing…
Feel­ing
Cry­ing…
Know­ing…
Liv­ing…
Dying…



We are the imper­fect Crea­tures
God’s aban­doned Chil­dren
And we are everywhere

    And you are noth­ing short of fuck­ing fan­tas­tic. Every word, rhythm from start to fin­ish and every breath in between was com­plete per­fec­tion. And I am not just say­ing that. This is and pos­si­bly will always be my favorite of yours.

    So many lines with such an enor­mous amount of mean­ing to them all.

  6. Tammy Hendrix Says:
