I thought I could trust you
but then I realized
I couldn't trust myself
From the pain or the hurt
I lied to myself
In many ways
To forget the past
You came into my life so pure
For that I must
make you stay away before
I ruin you
My past haunts me in many ways
When I'm happy my guilty conscience
Is there Smiling
saying Remember this
My mind is thrashing
From side to side
How could I let myself
Turn out Like this
I think of
Suicide
In my mind many times
Many happy days
I had were all fake smiles
Or diminished by my
Corrupted image
When I think
How I've turned out
I look at my self
with agony
Saying How could you

Personally when I wrote this I was thinking look how much i had and how much i destroyed.

this is incredable...
I love your word choices. Dark and macabre images of pain, regret and somber loss of hope, without drilling the same boring jargon into the piece.Good job here poet.

Cool
I like it. Mixed thoughts are interesting. It was cool that you place it all. I like it. Sometimes I have those moments too.
