Everything I'm not

All the angst finally overwhelmed me; to pen it down..

Everything you say I do,

Everything I say I'm not.

All the risks I take;

All the ways I change.

Oh! many things I do for you. 

Yet, you cannot take me for true.

All the reasons I make you smile;

All the more I lose to survive.

Everything you say I do,

Everything I say I'm not.

Author's Note

One of my first pieces.

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the poem. I liked how the words and thoughts dances. Life seem to be opposites. What we say and do leave us confused and wondering where we need to be. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thanks Coyote for the visit and a great review! I was worried when i wrote that, that I have only few words but i guess they do describe my confusion and fight, well.

Giving is a wonderful thing, but remember to not give too much because you can ruin yourself if you do. Good write.

[Sindu]

Yup. We have to keep in mind the thin line which makes it worth it or harmful. Thanks.. for a great review.

The way we lose ourselves trying to twist into someone else's mold… well penned.

[Sindu]

thanks a lot! something everyone struggles with at certain point of time, no? :)

[MomzillaNC]

Truly. And, sadly, something too many people never learn to not to do.

[Sindu]

Yeah! It's not easy.

[MomzillaNC]

Too true. But then, no one ever said Life would be easy… or fair.

Like a butterfly springing out of it's cacoon. If you help it.. then you kill it..

[MomzillaNC]
