People always leave, and I don't know if it's me/ who's the reason for these missing identities, But let me see/ What could it be- that stays eating the inside of me? I need to figure out this tragedy/ Because I truly feel alone, Sometimes I think I'm pushing them away, so, I could stand on my own/ Cuz I don't need them, let that be known, That's because I taught myself to be prone/ to all the bullshit and the people who don't want to stick by my side, I'll be honest, when i'm alone, I swallow my pride/ Some days, I even cried, thought that they'd be there forever - but they lied/ Got me thinkin' so I had to decide, I needed to let my nostalgia subside/ But the longer I played it off in reality, the more I denied, I was lyin to myself and it's somethin I couldn't hide/ It showed - both on the outside and inside, and when that shows, they unintentionally watched slowly how my pride died/ All I can say is that I tried, But burning bridges doesn't do any justice when you're tied/
Wow. Really really good. It always seemed to me that this sorta poetry was dead, but you've given me hope =D
Pretty great. The rhyme scheme could be more snappier towards the middle/end but other than that the subject matter seemed very real. I like how it started off a lot. Awesome first post
I've read this on at least three different occasions now, just browsing, and it's given me a different perspective each time... well written! I love it!
Thanks so much. I'm glad you can see it in different perspectives and still seem to enjoy it. That means a lot!
