Again and Again

Quick little poem.

I didn't want to lie.

I just had to. 

I couldn't take the chance of you telling.

And I didn't want to see disappointment in your eyes. 

I want to get better.

Or at least part of me does. 

But it's tough, you know?

This is my world. 

I know it sounds dark..

and you don't understand..

but it keeps me going....

again and again.

I see this as a someone telling a loved one they are fine or feeling better, but really they are the same. I really like the emotions behind it and how well you expressed it. great Job

Interesting, the voice that runs around and around in one's mind. Guilt or not guilty for the lie told.

Yes...thank you for taking the time to read.

love this D.T, by leaving out what it is that keeps you going again and again it actually makes more of an impact with the pain and shame of hiding something!

Such a great raw and honest write girlie!

There is true honest feelings that I can relate to... This was an amazing poem with such great flow! I loved the structure of the poem and how it ended!
My favorite part was...
"I want to get better.
Or at least part of me does.
But it's tough, you know?
This is my world."
This relates to me by my story about my friend who passed away, It's called the Blonde Girl if you want to read it.
Your awesome and keep on writing!!!

I like how this is bare honesty, pure admittance of how the black and white on how we are supposed to live and the morals we're supposed to have don't always coincide with reality.

[D.T.]

thank you JC! (:

"I couldn't take the chance of you telling."
After reading that line I think I have an idea of what this might be about [though I'm probably wrong. And I sure hope I am].

Nevertheless it's a good piece!

[D.T.]

Thank you! (:
