Its hard collecting my thoughts with this piece. Sorry if its scattered. And by the way, this is more "spoken words" than poetry. Sort of poetry slam/prose.

"Hurt" is used in numerous ways

but the way I'm most familiar with

is when the person that I'm falling for

tells me that they never wanted to hurt me.

Where is he now?

There are so many girls in the world

that want the exact same thing as me

how do you learn to deal with something

that's beyond your insecurities

and passed what you can control?

Every person has a special person in their life

and sometimes you can come in at the wrong time

but then you realize there was always going to be

a wrong time.

When you aren't over someone

it shows in your actions

and the way you look at the girl that 

adores you.

There is always going to be someone

that is better than you

but in what ways? 

Missing someone is usually apart of letting go

but what happens when the pain of missing someone

turns into a obsession

where all you can think about is him?

"You could do so much better than him"

but who is good enough for me?

There will always be a flaw 

that others choose to bring forward.

How can you be alone without him

if you've been alone all your life?

I didn't have a chance even before it started

playing games always ends in a victory

but I'm not sure who won.

Who took who's heart?

I'm scared that this time

you won't come back

to give me back what you stole from me

when will you swallow your pride?

Or, better yet, when will my pride swallow you?

Mother Theresa used to say that we need to feel more say less. The feeling would produce a response, the saying, an excuse. Nice write!

The person doesn't feel good enough for "the one" in her life, she thinks everyone is better then her - prettier, smarter, and more talented. Also, she in some ways, is too proud.
Really good poem!

Love the last line... Abandonment is a huge issue and yet commitment to yourself is even larger.. When will you be good enough to know you can have the best and not settle for the crumbs?? ;) xo

Lessons learned is what this poem is about. You touch us with is simplicity and magnitude. Nicely done.

Sometimes simplifying a poem can take away its value, but that clearly isn't the case here. The insecurities felt throughout this piece-- though there were so many I can't say which ones were key lol-- were sincerely felt. This needs to be on the highlight reel of poems to be considered worthy of great appraise. Well written.
