What do you think of these poems?

No one cares when you're gone

My birthday was yesterday

It was the 5th year in a row,

That no one brought me a cake

Maybe it's because I'm all the way down here

Locked in this box

No one cares when you're gone

I'm lonely down here

Singing to myself

You'd think they would come to visit

But not once have they opened up my door

No one cares when you're gone

I tried calling out to them today

But received no reply

The worms are my only friends it seems

Crawling over my bones and decomposing flesh

No one cares when you're gone

No one cares when you're dead

----

Start of a new poem...tell me what you think?

Mean Girl free verse

Gluttons for gossip,

Stuffing their perfectly painted lips with dirty secrets,

As if they were pigs at the slop bucket

    The first poem exposes our unadmitted and undiscussed nightmare...

    eloquently poetic and refreshingly whimsical and plaintive

    rather than self - pitying or over - righteous...

    I am going to term it, `A Breakthrough Poem` as it deals

    with matters not usually examined..

    Your next poem :-

    Keep going with it..if it is intended to be mean, mean it.

    Good stuff imho.

    Those poems are very extreme. The first is a little disturbing at the end, to be honest. The second is kinda mean.

    Idk. That's just my opinion.
