The known

Lost of words....
All alone.... That I wanna be...
I am speechless.... Not the woman u thought i'd be....
Or not the woman u wanted me to be....
U were somethin' like my best friend...
Waaaayy before we even became girlfriend/boyfriend...
Now I want NO friend...
I just want to be alone...
Heart-aching.... Pain... Shown...
Never ever thought it would come to be like this with us....
Now I have no words to say to u....
I have nothing to say to no1...
I may be hurting.... But I am not broken...
God continues to give me strength....
The strength I let be taken... Taken by u...
I was weak... Weak when it came to u....
Now I am hurt and don't know what to do...
So I've become silent...
Hiding all the hurt behind a smile....
A smile thats fake...
That could never be worth anything..
Not even 1 cent...
Because although I smile....
I am in denial...
Tryna make people think I am happy..
Like there's nothing wrong...
Tryna make myself extra strong...
Got this wall building up hard like stone...
Messin' me up for when the right person comes along...
Tears fill my eyes every time I hear a song...
That reminds me of u.... I am so gone...
What was it about me that was so wrong....

Another great expression of your emotions. I can feel the hurt and isolation. Very good read.

Oh...my...God... You hit on the feeling that ran through me and will possibly run through me again. I had a friend too. But we went alittle farther than that into uncharted territories. Man... what can I say? I feel this poem. You created some kind of magic! It's just one of those poems. And being that I can relate and behind that feel...where you are coming from is amazing. We release when others release. And the question at the end I ask myself if not everyday, when I happen to think about that person it's bound to be asked. Great job.

A very emotional write KShanay. Bikeman summed it up perfectly. I really liked this poem, and was left feeling sad for you. Remember what Bob Marley said, 'Don't worry, about a thing...Cause every little thing, is gonna be alright' haha. And remember it is about what was wrong with him, not you. -Spence

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
