How did this happen?
How did I put myself here?
Why do I want to run away?
When the best thing is to stay?
Where did this discomfort come from?
How do I get out of it?
Why do I want to leave?
When I should Stay
Why do I want to end this?
When there is nothing to end
Why do I feel down?
when I should feel up
The good outnumber the bad
So why do I not feel good?
I want to visit
But should I?
What is best for all of us?
To avoid or to face?
To avoid is discomforting
less painful, smart
yet more cowardly
To face is discomforting
more painful, stupid
yet less cowardly
To avoid = To face
How so?
How can the hill be up both ways?
and yet down both way?
none of this makes sense
But tis the truth
The big things don't phase me
The tiniest are most bothersome
A part of me, gone?
But was it ever there?
How did this happen?

wow you really captured so many thoughts and questions that everyone asks themselves now and again. even though most lines were questions you managed to keep the flow natural and easy to read.
great work -
WELCOME TO ALLPOETRY!
Wow what a really interesting write! So many questions that we all ask ourselves at some time in our lives. Strange I should read this as I am going through this with someone very close to me. They are asking these same questions.
Very thought provoking write indeed.
Well done to you!

I like this...questions in poems are usually powerful. I understand, too, what you are getting at in this. In one of my classes, we're talking about conflict styles and the different ways people deal with conflict. A discussion for a later date, perhaps but I hear you on this one.
