PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I wish I could let it fall below my pride.

Why do I hold it up?  I let it go on the inside.

I keep it in because it won’t come out.

How do I know you’ll understand what I talk about?

Everything I hold slowly slips away.

It gets further gone with every word you say.



But I didn’t know then what I don’t know now,

And I would wanna spend my life learnin how,

To waist my time in this dream I’m livin in.

I wish I knew now what I didn’t know then.



I say I don’t know, but you know that’s a lie.

How can I convince my eyes not to cry?

You try to hang on to every word I say.

I try to say it soft enough to make you stay.

I say I don’t know, believe me I do,

But I don’t want this to be a part of you.



I don’t know now what I didn’t know then.

I know you’ll understand if I’d say it again.

I’m too strong to let it go.  It holds me still.

I’m too weak to let it hide but I know it will.
