PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR REACTION WILL BE

WHEN YOU REALIZE I'M NOT TURNING BACK

I'M SCARED THAT YOU WILL TURN INTO

THAT MONSTER THAT I'VE SEEN BEFORE

I CAN'T EXPRESS TO YOU HOW MUCH I

LOVE YOU BUT I CAN EXPRESS MY FEAR

OF YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND

YOUR BOOMING VOICE AND PRIOR ACTIONS HAS

SCARED ME ONCE BEFORE AND I'M AFRAID

THAT IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN

I CAN'T BE THAT FRIGHTENED LITTLE GIRL

I ONCE WAS AFRAID OF WHAT YOU MIGHT

SAY OR DO TO ME NO MATTER WHAT I SAID OR DID

I CAN'T WALK ON EGGSHELLS FOR YOU ANYMORE

EACH SHELL HAS MADE CUTS IN MY HEART

AS WELL AS MY MIND AND THERE ARE ONLY

HOLES LEFT THE HOLES THAT YOU HAVE POKED

IN MY BRAIN TRYING TO GET ME TO CONFORM

BLAMING ME

CONDEMNING ME

FOR MISTAKES THAT I'VE MADE WHEN YOUR MISTAKES

HIT HARDER THAN YOUR HAND AGAINST MY CHEST

I LIVE IN THE STATE OF FEAR AS I LIVE WITH YOU

I'M TIRED

I'M SICK

OF THE WAY I'M BEING TREATED AS A PRISONER OF

LOVE I AM FOREVER LINKED WITH YOU BUT

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT

SO REGARDLESS OF YOUR REACTION WHEN I

DON'T TURN BACK TO SEE YOUR FACE

YOUR LOOK OF HATRED

YOUR LOOK OF HURT

YOUR LOOK OF LOVE

I KNOW THAT IN ORDER TO BE WHAT I KNOW I

CAN BE

I HAVE TO LEAVE.....
