by michael koopmans

The face I put on, it's a fake,
As I think of my life, I start to shake,
I always seem to get the worst of it, it's not fair,
She says I should get out more, I'd rather stay in my lair,

I should lay my face bare, so they know,
But my life doesn't need, that kind of show
I hate this, I need a helping hand,
Im drowning, I need to swim to land,

Im losing it all, what sanity I retain,
It's overtaking, hard to contain,
I look at the mirror, its depressed,
I think to myself, I just want to confess.

The flux and flow, wax and wane,
I feel like I, bring the world to shame,
I was the one, who was taken,
I came back cold, livid and shaken.

I'm closed up, hidden from the world,
They showed up, I had yet to be unfurled,
I was not ready, I was marred,
So forever I shall remain, the hidden card. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 232 [topic] => 63 [informant] => Koopmans [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => hbadday )

Great poem. Sounds like a conflict that you have with yourself. Kind of like, to sides to a situation. You should change, but you don't want to, maybe. Or I could be completely wrong. Anyways, I like it. Good job.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
