I Do Not Understand

I do not understand poetry.

Not one bit.

Yet I try anyway.

I try putting down how I feel.

But honestly I don’t know how I feel.

I couldn’t tell you.

Sometimes I feel like I love someone.

But then things get mixed up and I don’t know how I feel.

Things are so complicated.

*sigh*

But I’ve been told, “Hey feeling down? Write a poem.”

So here I go.

Roses are red

Violets are blue…

What do I do?

Do I go left or right?

Do I jump or duck?

So today I sit in front of my screen and wonder what to say…

I wonder,

“How do I put what I feel into words?”

Ironic don’t you think?

Me a writer.

Who cannot put her own feelings into words.

Sad.

Ahh well... I think the same... Though I do write nothing of it is ever upto the mark.. But we all gotta keep trying until we beat it and get better at it... I can tell you one thing though.. Even writing down these thoughts into words is achievement enough.. You should be proud of yourself☺

I can totally relate to this! It's so hard to say how you feel and it is ironic cuz your a writer. You just wrote how i've felt so many times. Feelings are the hardest things for me to express. I don't try to make it difficult.. It just is. Really great piece! I loved it :)

A good plot. No worries when you write you just pour without any hesitation. Poetry it is indeed and few lines on the lighter side mades it more interesting.

Good work.
