You wanna know the real reason why.. Why I went through with it I must confess
You might call me stupid, but I did for him I couldn’t mess his life up, I only want the best
All this pain im feeling is making me insane, whats next in my life.. Only god knows
This is a secret ill take to my grave, my true feelings I will never be able to show

Im afraid ill be judged, and its different when your in the situation
I never thought id make that choice, and im dealing with this left over frustration.
Do I have regret.. Of course, do I wish I could take it back, you know I would without a doubt
Its to late for all that now, I gotta move forward and learn to live through this falling out

These past days I havent slept much, every time I close my eyes I get a flashback
My heart will always have this scar, and my mind will always be under attack
I could’ve prevented all this, I never should’ve laid down
All that’s left for me to do is cry, as I sit here and wear this frown.

This is a well constructed poem.

Don't be afraid of being judged, it's the favorite game of many people, but we should not allow them to exercise a negative influence on us. Be yourself and speak out.

Love,
Margherita

The aftermath of which I spoke in a previous post of yours... regret, sleeplessness, pain. Post abortion trauma is so real as to be unreal. Maybe this series of poems you've done needs to go around a bit in the schools. Maybe that's an awesome idea. Maybe I'll be writing you shortly here today...

Now I understand more of your poetry.

The things that we already know, sometimes need to be fed back when we cannot grasp them in our time of need.

We cannot ever take back yesterday.  There is no judgement, there were reasons then...all we knew.  Going forward, its all we know now.

Writing is a positive medicine.  Let the pain out, and the emptiness will fill with healing.

Welcome to PiP.  This is an interesting poem.  I have read it a few times now.  

When I first came to PiP a poet, Poet to the Cars (I always got a smile from that name) recommended that I use spell-check prior to posting.  Much to my horror, I spell checked many of the poems that I had posted - and many had at least one misspelled word.

With that in mind, I am going to give you two pieces of advice.  First, be consistant in using capitalization.  If you are going to cap "I" then cap "i'm".  See what I mean?

Second, abbreviating words in a title of a poem is a sure-fire way of keeping me away.  Abbreviations do not belong in poetry unless they are part of the poem itself.  Poetry is about feeling and abiance.  Abbreviations are for text messaging and instant messaging.

Finally, pay attention to contractions.

quote:
Im afraid ill be judged, and its different


should be written as I'm afraid I'll be judged and it's different

I look forward to reading more of your poetry.

I hope that my thoughts help you.

Alison

fear has no place in our life. we should do whatever we want caring less about judgements. we are human and we always encounter dissonance feelings. live your life day by day. have a great life

I truly feel for you my friend, always remember things are never as bad as they seem. Always look forward, never look back for the sun will shine again tomorrow and if your attitude is right you can overcome
all the hills along the way. Good luck.

I agree with Lindsay, looking back at things we did only hurts more, stay positive and look forward and things will surely turn around for the best. Nice write. Prasad
