In the beginning,I believed,
In good and evil, right and wrong,
Decisions were so simple,
Wearing heart on sleeve; so carefree.
Somewhere along the lane,
I realised all were not the same,
Different shades, different views,
A mean, a grey in between.
I began to analyse and categorise,
Weighing rights and wrongs,
A delicate physical balance,
Which a feather weight can destroy.
It wasn't long before I turned to self,
Measuring every action, each word,
Realising each opinion needed backing,
Thinking and then discarding.
So now, here I am,
Caught within the four walls I've built,
To keep me in or others out,
I don't know, don't care to find out.
Trapped, by the very chains I've forged,
Scarred to try new things,
Lest I break the fragile glass,
my heart has become...

A very charming poem and it is well written. I love the way you have made it emotional. Great imagery and wonderfully portrayed. Do pen more poems like this dear. I would be happy, if you could spare your time to stamp your views on my poems.

This is really nice.
As Albert Einstein says every thing is relative.
I think this law is appicable to human thought process too;
just like the laws of physics.
No human being can be seperated from his/her surroundings.
With out studying that it is difficult to define good or evil too. And nature created an inequal worl with a lot of differences. But we are human beings who can think different from all other speicices and who can feel the sweetness of a smile. So I think in this inequal world, we have to bring our fellows happiness through ourown deeds. May be a better system with less financial inequalities and giving similar kind of oppertunities to all...I think.
Anyway I really like your poem.
All well wishes. -

This was very well written and I can certainly relate, realization that nothing is totally simple, or not in the way that a person originally believes. I keep going through this, and then I look back and try to refine what I have learned. Hopefully there are some things that are consistent and some things that can be simplified, but right and wrong is a toughy, recently talked about that in a class, hard to draw a line that always holds true. Anyway, good work.

Cute!!!
Now this is cute. A heartfelt poem and insightful as well. Many can relate to this as most of us build a shell around us at some time and hide within, not wanting to let our feelings get out or to avoid others getting their feelings into us and affect us.
Letting our feelings out is good even when we are inside our shell. Shell protects us but the emotions flowing out helps us think better and know better too.
Hope you think much more and more often so we get to read more such cute poems!!!

My, 'Adorable' I think your clever poem is explaining how you see an adult world now. It has always been contrasts of behavior, your eyes and heart now see it. The trick now is to rise above it not fall in it. Beautiful poem thank you. you.
