A Memory Worth Forgetting.

A buried feeling from a life I had no control over, from a person who led me astray.

I see my face but it isn’t my mine.

I know my voice but I can’t find it.

I hear my mind but I don’t understand it.

I watch my life but I can’t join it.

I know my fear but I can’t conquer it.

I feel your presence but I won’t face you.

I won’t stand up and tell you to be sorry.

I won’t show you what you did to me.

I won’t ask you why you ruined me.

I won’t say how much I resent you.

I won’t let you near me again.

I will walk away, defeated.

I will try to make ends meet.

I will stop myself from hating you.

I will learn to simply let live.

well...I trust there is a story behind the lines....it is a very sorrowfull, miserable, dreadful poem...realizations which came at the end of a failure or defeat. I only add two lines..why the things which must be said at first, aill be said at last, Alas!!! this is love....this is reality. thank you for your very well-written poem, I did like it.

Thank you very much, I really like your interpretation of my poem... I like that you saw the reality in it as well, it's important for me that people can relate my writing to something that resonates with them too... I'm glad you liked it...

You are a survivalist and a victorious one...Bravo

You have attacked a difficult time with grace and elegance. If I might be so bold as to suggest a slight refinement which might make this poem pop, you might try echoing the five "I won't" lines in the middle with five "I am" lines at the top, then add one additional "I will" line in the final group. That parallelism would demonstrate progress and growth, thus permitting your poem's heartfelt emotions to enlighten and encourage, the best effects we can aspire to, having suffered and survived.

A very painful poem. Word's came from the wrenched heart. The theme's based on reality because in daily life .. everybody's just doing hurt everyone. It's a heartfelt emotional poem.

Thank you for reading... I agree with what you said about reality, very accurate. It was a more solemn poem, so I'm glad you still liked it...
