A Poem by MandarinOranges
"

An emotional and mental anguish, a constant contradiction between body and mind rages inside me. Like that song, should I stay or should I go-only there isn't anyone to tell me which I should do.

"

 

Can somebody tell me please

which of these

will bring to me

the greatest of ease?

 

Is this where I should stay

with these words

unspoken,

tucked away?

 

Do I pretend to be fine,

not treading,

ready to fall

over the thin line?

 

Or....

 

 

Should I give into this lie,

finally cave;

look away

and wave you goodbye?

I'm not a big fan of simple rhyme schemes. However, I do respect them; if you'd like to, you could accomplish greater flow by editing it to keep the syllabic count similar. This is a technique I'm certain your aware of. I think if used here you can add some meat to the poem and enhance it's quality. I'm sure the situation is intense, but the poem doesn't thoroughly describe the whole scenario.

Or I'm completely dense. Which is also a possibility.
