Me

I'm doing better than you thought I could do

You thought my whole world revolved around you

Devouring all of my emotion

Leaving me cold and open

Naive to your ways 

I spent years, months, weeks, days.....

Listening, obeying, and mistreated

Pushed around, fell down, like I just don't get it?

What am I doing wrong?

What do I have to do right?

Confused, so consumed, weak

It's like still trying to drive a car when you're running on E

No need for your sorry and pleading

I've learned to become concerned about my feelings

Stood up for what I believed in.....

Now look at you

Cold, empty, so consumed

I see a replay in my life when I look at you

You thought my whole world revolved around you

I'm doing better than you thought i could do.

I liked it, I think a lot of people can relate to it. So many people are being "door mats" and not standing up for themselves. The only suggestion I have is that you might want to capitalize the i 's in your poem (What do I have to do right? instead of What do i have to do right?) Great work, keep writing!!

Very beautiful poem. Loved the wording and how they conveyed the message. Awesome job :D

I have seen scenarios like this in action and when those people stood up for themselves and broke free from the chains,it was a beautiful thing as this is a beautiful poem :)

An interesting poem. Really shows that people can have the strength to overcome pain like the one expressed here and that those who say they won't fall into that trap so easily fall into it themselves. An interesting read. Well done!
