Sneak Away - Poem

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I thought I would share another old poem of mine. I need to find more than the ones I have in the book I self published. Also, would be nice to write some new ones (if I could still). A lot of my old poems are dark because I did write them to get through rough times. This is not one of the really dark ones, but not a happy poem either. I'd still love to know what you all think of it. She’s just a rebel baby That is what they always say They can’t describe The odd and peculiar things she does So they cover it with labels, To box in the lies They’d like to lock her up and throw away the key Is that logical? She’s different, but not a maniac No matter how often they throw her those lines, She’ll never give in No, not that easily They’ll have to catch her fast but they are too oblivious to watch her sneak away

I think @RasmaSandra is right. Would make great lyrics.

I'd have to come up with more words probably for that, and find someone to make the music. Actually, could probably have AI work on the music!

Yeah, maybe it could...just need to add more verses, a chorus maybe... I have written lyrics before but lost those.

@MommyOfEli2013 You are WAY too hard on yourself. It’s definitely good.

@AmbiePam Well I wrote it back when I was a teenager I believe, so I don't know if it is as good as I thought it was lol

It's an interesting poem. It says a lot. Nobody likes labels.

Is it? I am not so sure. Should I share more? Music to go with it? I was never good at making music.

@Ineeddentures I'll have to see if there are any "good" ones from my book that I haven't shared yet. I shared some a few years ago but then stopped.
