Solitude That Changed Me

Sometimes being alone can teach you a thing or two.

I was alone for a while.

Thought that it was okay being so.

And it was,but it was too okay.

I didn't wanna commit to anyone.

Neither friendship nor love.

When ever I reach close to getting back,

I see something that I lack.

It was compassion and now it was not the same. 

I didn't wanna bear people anymore,

I didn't wanna get hurt like before.

I just couldn't handle it.

Even the slightest bit of anger that comes to me, I try to get rid.

I just walk away when I see things that could get worse.

And getting angry certainly could make things worse.

So I just take my time to revive,

And then try to do what is right.

Sometimes I think of being my real self again,

But will it cause me more pain?

Or should I just stay the same?

I don't know ..but I'm gonna choose being my real self for now 

And at the same time,try not to go insane.

Author's Note

I don't know if this is actually a poem. It's just something that I wrote down in order cool myself down. From what I'm feeling. Nothing more nothing less.
Anger management maybe. I don't know.

Just let me know your thoughts on this :) Thank you :)

All of us need time to regroup our minds.

The above lines is true for the most of us. We must come alive and live. Thank you Aswin for sharing your excellent poetry.

Your poem's rhythm is a little off. It seems like you just wrote some sentences, and tried to make it into a poem in five or less minutes. However, you put your content first, and that REALLY makes me happy. Gotta love it when authors do that. :)

The emotion you get off, however, is really intense in a good way. You seems kind of mad, kind of lonely, and just a whole slew of emotions all at the same time. It comes out as this wonderful mess that the reader has to try to interpret, just like the narrator has to try and interpret their own feelings and actually act on them. You kind of get a little peek into what this person's daily life is like, and what they are constantly going through.

Also- the 'I try to get rid' is pretty confusing. Not sure where you were going with this, but it makes NO grammatical sense whatsoever. (I'm sorry if I'm being too blunt; it happens a lot. If I am, I'd appreciate it if you just told me, and I'll avoid that sort of thing while reviewing your stuff.) Anyways, I had to read it a few times to actually get what you were trying to convey. I know you were just writing this to get some steam off, and that's really good for you as a person, but you could further your writing by REALLY paying attention to these kinds of things. It's hard to go through this and edit when you're angry or confused or WHATEVER, but it will make you a better writer.

Overall, though, I enjoyed your post! Please do write more. ;)

Thank you so much for you review.
Yes. It's really off rythm. Like I told, I don't even know if this is a poem or not. I just wrote something that was in my mind.
