why do you make it so difficult
you push me away
then want me back
back and forth
back and forth
just make up your mind
do you want me or not

just tell me
stop with the charades
ill survive
i can make it on my own
but your killing me
why do you make it so difficult

just tell me
and let me be

you put a lot of emotion in this and you did a great job expressing yourself.  this was a good piece and it shouldn't have so few responses on it.  i would suggest replying a little more to everyone else so that you will get more feedback on your own work.  anyway, good job on this, keep posting.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

here's another response. I can really relate to the poem, and i absolutely hate the way this problem makes people feel.  sometimes i want to say to the person who creates this problem "either you want me or you don't" but i don't want to loose them. great poem.

Nice work.  Repitition of the line "back and forth" emphasized its importance well.
As for the emotions, I would like to say I know the feeling but being as unpopular as I am, I'm usually pretty sure how people feel about me.

This is powerful - lots of emotion behind it. I'm going to be anal and point out that in the line "but your killing me" it should be "you're." Other than that it's really good.

I know exactly how this feels. Well done on expressing the emotion of being taken and left by the same person over and over and over and over and over and over again.

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 love this poem.  I thinkit expresses what we've all felt at sometime.  It's about closure, right?  You wrote it wonderfully, and I really enjoyed it!  Keep 'em coming!
