Things About Me

Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I scream
I do it when I’m alone
I don’t want anyone to see

These are my secrets
The hate I feel inside
These are the things about me
I’ve always wanted to hide

I don’t like letting people in
I don’t want anyone to help me
I just want left alone
Leave it up to my destiny

I have the ability to pick
The path I might want to take
But I must be careful what I choose
I always realize things after  it’s too late

I won’t be able to go back
I must only look ahead
I hope that what I chose
Is right not wrong instead

So it’s better kept from view
I keep it all inside
So that no one can see my pain
Or all the confusion I must hide

    exceptionally written

    this is a very thoughtfully written poem, a look in the mirror in a way for me, i felt as ive felt all thease thoughts and emotions at least once in my lifetime if not repetively, and though there were stanzas that i could deeply relate to this is the one stanza that stuck out the most for me and the one i can relate to the most as it feels as if ive said thease words in my own mind at least once a day to myself:

    I won’t be able to go back
    I must only look ahead
    I hope that what I chose
    Is right not wrong instead

    maybe not in those exact words but by all means the same definition, i cant go back, only forward, i hope whatever i choose is the right choice, please not another mistake. anyways, i thank you for writing and posting this read, it will be one that ill be bookmarking to read agian. ~Julzzz~

    Deeply Thoughtful.

    A great expression of your deep down sense of loneliness but also your wisdom to know you have choices and making the wrong decisions is not now an option.I feel your pain but the maturity with which you describe this with sad imagery makes me have faith in you that you will deal with everything well.Wish you lots of luck and love on your journey,dear friend.Elizabeth.
