You’ve got me dancing on a string
Ready to fall one way or the other,
I’m losing my balance fast
Heartbreaks come another.
Just say you don’t care
And let me walk away,
At least it would be
Easier that way.
I want to scream
I want to cry,
I want to laugh
I don’t want to live this lie.
You’ve got me on puppet strings
And you’re leading me along
And I know these feelings
Are so very, very wrong.
You make me want to
Scream until it hurts
When I hear about
When you flirt, flirt, flirt.
I want to scream
I want to cry,
I want to laugh
I don’t want to live this lie.
I’m a masochist
And I’m going with your game
And I know now
That things’ll never be the same.
I wish I knew
How to refuse you
But all it takes is a smile
And the love comes anew.
I want to scream
I want to cry,
I want to laugh
I don’t want to live this lie.
And you’ll never know…

Very good write. Tis sad that you feel you are living a lie. Sounds to me this person got you wrap around the finger. Great flow to your words.

'And you'll never know', fitting last line! Great job, keep penning! :Sie

this is a terrible feeling to have, and dont feel alone many of us have the same thing It seems going on in our lives at some time or another, I can relate to this so much now, as I often think if I didnt love, then it would be so easy to walk away..... at least it feels like that any way, good luck!

This sounds very lyrical -liked the way the title finished off the poem as well. Good flow - one needs to talk and not keep things held inside where stress and rough times can make one do things they normally would not do. Get it off your chest and don't hold it inside. Writing this is a start - if this is just written for the contest - very vivid.

Wow... This was a really strong poem in my opinion and i loved that you repeated the 3rd stanza at the end. For me it was like you want to stop living in suffering but yet your not going to tell them anything you're just going to stay in silence and if this is actually what you're living i think you should say something. Nobody deserves to live like that. Believe me i did what your poem. Says I didn't want to suffer yet i didn't want to say anything i ended up hurt and til this day i'm still recovering. Please talk to someone okay. Lots of love and beautiful poem. Emily
