UNLESS

We never say what we don't mean,

unless we mean to hurt.

We never see what we don't want,

unless we mean to see pain.

We never do what we should not,

unless we mean to break.

We never argue when we agree,

unless we mean to fight.

We never walk in without a plan,

unless we mean a game.

We never make believe with no commitment,

unless we mean nothing.

We never show care with no intention,

unless we mean winning.

We never love without a reason,

unless we mean to let go.

We never forget when (it's) unforgettable,

unless we mean no memories.

We never surrender when we're winning already,

unless we mean relation.

We never cry when no emotion,

unless we mean hurt.

wow... that is all I can say. In this one poem you have basically described my life, I know it sounds cliche and all that but you have. I love it, I love how you have captured the truth of our being, the truth of what we think and the truth of what we can do. As humans we can cause great harm but also great pleasure. Thank you :)

[Mehak Mushtaq]

I'm glad, you connect to it. :)

Interesting being to the left side, I like that..great thoughts

[Time's The Bond]

interesting format to the left usually its placed in the middle or end

[quinfinn]

i think you pretty much covered all the bases for me here. this is quite witty and very well written. the right justification made me a little loopy after several lines, but i think it makes a point, so, well done!

Very uncomfortable views of life to say the least, I like the way you formatted it to the right, which makes it a bit off kilter as the feeling I got after this read. So true, these statements...as I've said before, you are wise beyond your young years. This is an excellent write Mehak.

[Mehak Mushtaq]

Mehak, I read already a lot of you, and this one speaks to me.... It's simply great how you make statement here. It's an overal quote of your own, thank you for sharing this...

Thank you Elisa.

My pleasure dear :)

Negativity has always been easier to express than positivity...it's like we just naturally relate to the negativity easier than the positivity...such is the way of the human...it's not right or fair, but that's humanity for you...a cynical statement to be sure but every word of it is true...well done :)

[gombeggar]

this is so terribly wrong as a statement and for that i like it so very much

[Holly Mason]

we never mean-then the reason why it happens
great style you have used in this it reads nicely and with meaning
We never love without a reason-unless we mean to let go-thoughts to ponder
thank you for sharing

[Mehak Mushtaq]

Thank you.

[Leslie Philibert]

Great layout and presentation, which ( I think) is important for a good poem. And I like the subtle reflection and wisdom of this, astounding for such a young person. Very good poem.

Thank you.
