Always almost.

Always almost.

A Poem by Chesney W.

Mistaken.

Misunderstood.

 

Unwritten.

Unspoken.

 

Lying without a cause.

Denying without a reason.

 

Breaking the unbreakable.

 

Setting fire to the most flammable.

 

Growing into a new person.

 

No recognizing what I see in the mirror.

 

Widowed without a husband.

 

Set out to die alone.

 

Starving for a feeling I'll never feel.

 

Cutting just to know I'm real.

 

Craving attention of all kinds.

 

Aching without physical pain.

 

Not knowing what comes next.

 

Futuristic intelligence.

 

Loving a foreign drug.

 

Angry for what has happened.

 

Watching Angels fly to heaven.

 

Scared I'll be forgotten about.

 

Left for dead in prison.

 

Leaving with no goodbyes.

 

Crying myself into a disguise.

thank you
You shouldn't let other people tell you who to be. Be who you are and don't worry about what other people think. Everyone will have their own opinion of you, it's up to you to rely on yourself and your own opinion. The only opinion that matters is truly your own. People will worry about you and say you have changed, it's up to you to just be yourself, no matter what they say. Live your life how you want, not how others tell you to.

I like the story in the poem. I wanted to know more. The short statements made the reader think and ponder. A separation without a goodbye will leave you yearning for a friend voice forever. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
