I'm Not Ready

An old poem

I'm not ready for this,

Not for your words,

Not for my pointless

Attempts to sort things out.

I'm not ready to hear it,

Not the fighting,

Not the yelling,

Not even the lies.

I don't want this,

I never wanted this,

To become a problem.

If this is what you need,

What you want,

Leave me to my own devices,

Don't step aside,

Playing victim.

I thought this one was very well done, Ms. Jayne. :) My only comment would have to be on the lines "I never wanted this,/To become a problem". I feel like this section faltered a little bit from the natural flow. The first line was good, especially when read in succession with the line before it due to the repetition. The second line, however, felt fragmented to me. But that is simply my opinion, and I nonetheless found your content to be excellent. :D

There are scars and shadows in every relationship, and your words are both truly broad in scope and intimate in emotion. It's as if you have a world of history flowing through each perfected line. xo

Thank you very much Echo :)

A bold rebellious poem. I find this a rather powerful and simple poem. Could maybe improve your vocabulary to make the poem even more powerful. But that's just a side comment. Good job and keep penning your magic pen (:
