Twisted truths and dying dreams
Callousness and carelessness
That’s the extent of you, it seems
You tried very, very hard
To change me into you
You gave very, very little
It was all that you could do
But my tiny, tiny heart
Knew you just wouldn’t do
And when tiny, tiny you
Left, it finally then grew
In simple, simple ways
I’m learning who I am
And now simple, simple things
Mean more than you did then
Disinterested and disassociated
Ego ridden and never true
Insensitive and incompatible
I’m so glad that I’m not you

Yay, the light is shining through. I like this poem. I have been there and I know how hard it was. It is always nice to finally find yourself.
Hugs,

Nothing worse than someone trying to change you is there? very good poem.
The last line sums it all up nicely "i'm so glad that i'm not you"
On a lighter note imagine if you were me! bald, skint and lots of children, now that's a life to envy!?**

I like this one. It's got a bit more 'kaboom' to it than some i've read by you. Repeating the adjective is a nice touch in the rhyme too.
This shows a mixture of relief, anger and sadness which is also mixed with forward-thinking, which is great.
Keep writing. |

There's poetry you read, and there's poetry you want to read again and again and this is the latter. I really enjoyed this one. I think my favorite part was:
In simple, simple ways
I’m learning who I am
And now simple, simple things
Mean more than you did then
You moved out of the shadow and into a bright new world.
Great write!

Well, you have found your voice and you truly are Silent-No-More. This is a great farewell to the ex, moving on with my life piece.
I liked the form you took with this, also. Very different.
Overall, a splendid write...

Totally different. Your writing is as far left as it is far right. I wish my poetic abilities was as far reaching.

I don't usually like to repeat words, but I think it works here. I think a lot of women could relate to this. You've expressed these feelings well.

Very, very, very nice . . . talk about emotional poetry at its finest. Quite impressive and I hope it was at least a little bit cathartic, writing this all out :). And I liked the adjective repetition here, too.
