This isn't really a poem, just a train of thought.

He’s been with me for a few months now,

For the majority he’s made me happy.

But now I have doubts whether he is the one,

It my just come down to me, you see

I’m trying to figure out who I really am,

It’s like I’m a stranger to myself…

They say that it’s normal to feel so lost

It’s just my age, a stage in my development.

But what do I do about this guy I thought was forever?

I can’t just leave, can’t just break his heart.

I want to be the best version of myself,

But can I do that when I’m with someone who’s against everything I stand for?

I don’t want to hurt him, but what do I do?

Author's Note

Sorry if this isn't very good.

I was trying to write something else but it just turned out like this.

Leslie's right (that's my mamma's name, too!). This technically isn't really a poem. You just put a thought in the form of a poem...Poetry is about feelings, and experiences and how you feel about those experiences.

I really like the title, clever and original, and I think this is a good poem, not perhaps a very new theme, but honest and autobiographical,a good piece of writing for such a young person, good work.

Coming from a guys stand point, go ahead and hurt him, he will get over it. Just don't drag it on after you call it quits, that sucks. Do what makes you happy, or forever be sad... Those are pretty much your choices... Good read though.

This is extremely honest. Been here so many times, and you describe the place well. I find that I am a different person depending on who I am with. Like a tree, I grow in the direction of the person I share my life with. There is good and bad in each "trestle." Change is a never ending part of life. Without it, we die inside. I would say this piece captures this phenomenon very well. The conflict is obvious, while the decision is far from simple. Ultimately, it's a personal matter of the heart. In the end, anything that is allowed this close hurts, but a discussion must be made.

A tearing line of thought. Great work. The truth of the piece is in its honesty. We love the speaker for who they are because they care, but know that sometimes that isn't enough.

Just be yourself. =) I know what you mean, but sometimes being honest will hurt someone but lying will hurt even more. Being lost is definately alright.. i know the feeling well. I'm still lost and i'm 20! lol. Life just has its own unique way of making us struggle i suppose but keep going! Live life how you want it... fight for it. ^^ Keep writing my dear friend!!!
