    Poem Commentary

    Some days are very hard to get through. I don't know what the future holds and I am scared.

    Inside

     When does the pain end
    Do I have to be mean again
    Nobody knows what lies behind the mask I wear
    So much anger and hurt is under there

    People see what they are allowed to see
    My skin covers dangerous thoughts and needs
    I am screaming inside almost all the time
    She has know Idea what she has helped me become

    I did not plan for the evil to settle in her heart
    Even though I saw that something was going wrong
    It is hard to believe the one you loved
    Would turn out to be your worst

    I am a shell of a man at this time
    Watching every word and action of mine
    Need to rebuild my trust and desires
    But for now I will pretend I am solid

    Iv'e felt this so many times in my heart, after a while it becomes easier to wear a mask and pretend then actually run the risk of letting someone in with the knowledge that something could go wrong. Great writing.

    (only one edit second stanza word know should be no ) =) I like the raw emotion in this pen. It covers fears many of us have... the self-doubts that come when our world is unstable. A very honest pen

    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.
