dilemma


by unmaker

if i weren't worried i wouldn't be here
handing you the keys
but the life i tried to run away from
is the very life i lead
and the distance between silences
gets shorter every day;
its no wonder i can't run when
i've already gone away
It's not that i don't want to try it
It's just that i don't think i should
step into a new dilemma
when the one i'm in isn't understood
and i can't get any answers
and the silences get longer
and you've all
turned away
from the mess
that i've made
but if you knew me you would see
it's still me

Unmaker- I like this one - it captures the confusion that lies within us all. Should I or Shouln't I? the age old question. I ask myself the same question all the time :) Great flow and thought provoking. Good job

I enjoyed it.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
