Confusion

sitting here alone
I don't know what to do
all that fills my mind
are single thoughts of you

I look around me and see
everyone in love
could this be me?
could this be from above?

my thoughts are confused
my minds gone mad
my heart is filled with joy
and is so very glad

my mind tells me no
my heart tells me yes
what do I do?
I can only guess

such confusion in my life
but I don't want to lose you
because I know in my heart
that I love you Zu.

my mind however says
that this isn't right
how can you love someone
after you put up such a fight

I faught to be alone
I tried to stay single
but yet I love you so
I just don't understand

maybe I am meant to fall
head over heels this time
yet I stare at the wall
as I think of this silly rhyme

all I'm trying to do
is verbalized my confusion
and I hope to see you soon
so I can get you off of my mind.

-->Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile.

This is a great poem Stace! And remember, someone does care!

I liked this alot, Stace. Nice read. The rhyming added a nice touch. The flow was great up until the 7th stanza. You stopped rhyming-Then started again- then stopped again in the last stanza. All in all though a very good write.

This was a nicely written poem, aStace.  I enjoyed it, as usual  
The flow throughout is very inconsistent.  It's great in a few places, like the first and sixth stanza.  There are many places where a word could be added to a line to make the stanza much more readable.  For example, the second stanza reads:
"I look around me and see
everyone in love
could this be me?
could this be from above?"
The first line has too many syllables, and the third line has too few.  I think you could go through the whole poem and touch up a few things here and there.  Don't be afraid to change around the lines... you might be surprised with what the finished product will be.
This poem is well written, and you portray such feelings of confusion, that the reader can't help but wish you the best in the situation.  So good luck... I hope things turn out well.  Again, nice work here.

I know this poem is not perfect, and I know I probably made a whole lot of mistakes in it. but it took me maybe 3 minutes to write this poem so I could release everything I was feeling. such inner turmoil...ahh, I'll live   lol

thanks for replying though, I'll probably make it better somewhere down the line..oops,I just realised that I did this under Kristin's name...OOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, that's what I get for staying the night at her house and then not signing in under my own name....

Nice writing.  The flow could have been a little better, but I see Marie has already pointed that out, so I'll be on my way!

let me explain a little something here. the reason I posted this at all was cuz Kristin and my friend Matt told me I should...I wrote it cuz I was talkin to them and thinkin about Zu quite alot...and I was so confused because I've tried to stay single by thinking to myself that all guys are jerks and this and that...then I met Zu who's a total sweetheart, and I love him to death, but it's like my mind is still trying to tell me it's wrong, when I KNOW it's right...ya know what I mean? well, I guess it's just me...but that's the only way I know to explain it...

WEIRDO! haha ok no....
anyhow.....I liked this poem but thought the "maybe this is from above" line was just plugged in there simply cuz it ryhmed with love. I didn't really feel it.
Anyhow I liked this one.

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

one question.....Why fight it?
But in the end, it's still your decision
all we can do is open our mouths and it's all up to you whether you listen to anyone of us or not.
I just hope you find the right decision
good luck
