I don't care anymore
I really dont....
Go right ahead
And make the anger stronger.
Like a leech
You suck away my forgiveness,
Secretly hoping that if you have it all
I won't be able to get mad at you
But in reality
It just leaves our short tempers
To rub each other raw.
You dig your claws deeper
With each 'accidental' stinging word
Or sharp tone of voice.
You know I rarely forget
So it should be no surprise
To find me keeping count in my head,
Each new wound coming before the others can heal.
Instaed of speaking up,
I stay silent
Until I'll no longer be able to handle it
And will eventually silently storm off,
Leaving you to figure out
How to make the pieces fit
Into this puzzle
We call love.

Very nice.  Are you talking to a boyfriend or something in this poem?  Or is it just a rant?  Either way, it is very good.

I loved this Stephanie. So powerful. You expressed yourself wonderfully.

Great job here. I liked this one. You did well in expressing.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This is very emotional.  Hope things do improve for you.  Make sure this person rids of the stinging words.  keep sharing.

I basically agree w/ everyone else.
This is a well written poem.
You're talented.
The emotion in this poem is SO strong.
No one should let anyone make them feel this way.

Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself.  That's what I live by.

Nice job on the poem. I have felt this before, but I think it's best to let it out. For your sake mainly. This is still a really good poem.
