If I Told You

If I told you my secret

Would you go running
Or would you wipe my tears
And tell me that I'm beautiful

If I told you about my worries
Would you think I'm crazy
Or say it's a miracle
I survived

If I admit I ran
When everybody needed me
Please be disappointed
Instead of hiding my flaws

I like to live in a parallel universe
Inside of my mind
Where we make sense

Tell me why you make me so happy
Is it that smile of yours?
Cuz it brightens my day


I could run up to you
But I won't
You're not mine to keep
And I'm not yours to save

Author's Note

I did in fact have mixed feeling writing this and I know it's full of flaws, but I still had to publish it. I didn't feel like fixing it first. It was incomplete. I just added the last stanza right now. So yeah it's choppy for that reason :/

Reviews

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Love means being honest with our loved ones even when it hurts, it also means excepting our flaws along with our good points. A very wise poem.

[Muse]

A sensible prose.

f I told you about my worries
Would you think I'm crazy
Or say it's a miracle
I survived


You are seeking approval of another..yet they are not for the taking. Quite the conundrum. Beautiful work.

[Dilara Mawla Monzur]

The feelings have been expressed beautifully. Anyone could connect with those feelings of yours.

[Kaya]

As a poem, it does need editing and stuff, but on a pure emotional level, i really connected with this. I know the feeling and reading this took me right back to that moment.

[Blue Ivory]

I know. I hope I do get to edit it but I had no clue where to start. Would you mind helping me? I mean since you've been there, you can relate so it's a little easier for you. I'm the worst at organizing my feelings but it seriously bothers me that I published a sucky poem
