I didn't mean to argue
Or accuse you of telling lies
As tears welled up in my big brown eyes.
I didn't mean to bother you
I didn't mean to make you scared
I suppose my explanations have left you unprepared.
I didn't mean to worry you
I didn't mean to fall
I really didn't mean to be dizzy at all.
I didn't mean to shock you
As almost you did see
My obssession, my companion, my enemy.
I didn't mean to hurt you
As almost did you hear
That voice inside of me often do I fear.
I didn't mean to confuse you
In hiding myself from you
I revealed more than you never knew.
I didn't mean to argue
I really didn't mean to...

I don't know what this is.  It's about my boyfriend, who I don't expect to read this.  The rhyme scheme isn't great, but nothing I write really is.  So just go ahead and say whatever you want. Thanks
Bel

Hey Bel, nice to see you again.  
Now about your poem, the scheme wasn't bad, but what I really liked was the alternating line sizes.  It had a neat flow due to all of this.  Still I think it should have one more line at the end, one of the long lines, to wrap the poem up.  It seemed like it didn't quite end enough.
Well done nonetheless, I hope everything turns out for the better.

This sounds like a really bad situation. It's tough when the things you do twist into results with such irony. You describe it well. It's good to see you around again, and I hope to see you posting again soon!

It was good. Well done! You should come around here more. We miss you!

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

I do believe you did a good job on this one Isabel.  I actually enjoyed reading it and no moment in time did I feel like it just reminds me of other poems I've already read.  You did really good.  keep it up
