just a string attached

A Poem by yourstruly

Truth be told, I can't read you at all

Many times i've thought of giving up on you, as a whole

But that innocence runs so deep

And when I hate, is when you start to love me

Contradictory timing , feelings and places

Ever guilty for the million faces

We put in front of each other

Changing masks for the feelings of the latter

Straightforward and blunt personality

Can be a double edged sword, you taught me

Always tipping me over just enough

To propel some introspective contemplation, I never asked for

Sharp words that cut straight through the insult

Yet kindness seen so abundant and pure

And dealing everyday with your actions and words

Makes me want to choose against you, but my emotions are a blur

I can't handle it sometimes, it hurts

When my concern just gets thrown into dirt

I admit i'm not selfless, I just can't keep giving

I need some justice to the life that i'm living

Because its very likely, the possibility

Of me of losing myself, trying to untangle your inner calamity

So the verdict is clear and the time is near

For me to leave, but I want to hold on.

Deep and beautiful. I enjoyed reading it, and I think generally it's very well written. What I like about it is that It feels very real and your words are tangible, so the reader can feel the emotions, and hear the thoughts, and relate to them. So well done. Perhaps you could fix the small grammatical errors. Like lower case 'i's for instance. Some lines are capitalized while some other are not, and things like that. However, great poem, I really like it. So I am looking forward to your next posts.
Well done and keep on writing.
