old poem

    this is a poem i wrote when i was very angry. i wrote it all in one go so its very unpolished. what i want to know is, does it have any potential, should i keep working on it, or is it not worth it? should i start again?


    I dont have much to say anymore
    Time has drifted feelings away
    Im tired of waiting
    Im tired of trying

    to ****ing adapt to circumstances i cannot control
    im tired of remembering the past.
    im tired of trying to please you,
    to make you last

    leave me alone
    let me be

    Cant believe i let you see!

    if only i knew how you felt!
    if only i could tell how emotions melt

    you screwed about with my small emotions for too long

    now i can go
    now i can release

    The secrets from my past are hitting me -
    like evil karma

    give me your mind and let me shake it
    give me your heart and let me hurt it

    when i was with you my heart was generous, you have closed me up
    when i was with you my smile was honest,
    you have given me poetry

    my tears have no meaning,
    leave them in the ground

    im afraid to be alone
    im afraid not to be alone
    im afraid to be with you
    im afraid of myself.

    wow those are some really potent feelings..leave it as it is because its spontaneous, i like the rawness of it, its a great poem imo:)

    Brilliant work. Really connected with me and I'm sure many others.
    Few minor tweaks here and there maybe, but basically leave it as it is.
    A powerful, strong poem :)
