It's about me now.

by Nelle   Nov 3, 2008


I need to let go, I need to be free
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
I love you a lot, but I can't do this
Whether you care or not, my feelings exist

I don't want to be here, why can't you understand
I know this isn't what you had planned
Things have changed, and so have I
All you're doing is making me want to die

I want to be with my baby, and you don't care
Look into my eyes and see what's really there
Can't you see I'm falling apart
You're hurting me bad, you're breaking my heart

You're holding me back from what I need
I'm starting to think you don't want me to succeed
My feelings don't matter to you, they never did
I'd leave right now, but you forbid

I'm done with this argument, I know what I need
I'm not stopping, I will proceed
I'll get what I want, and I'll be out of your way
As time goes on, please remember this day

    I absolutely loved the message of this poem, because for so long people who are captive do not realize their captive of their own chains, and not of others.

    Second, as i read the poem and reached the last stanza, it feels unfinished. I wonder if you feel the same way too, or maybe because i'm finding my own story in your poem.

    The flow was very precise, and the words used were simple but struck to the heart.

    I've been in this kind of situation before. It's not a very fun one. You love the person so much, yet they're hurting you sad badly. But it's good that you see you can't just stand by and let them hurt you. No matter how much it hurts you have to put yourself first.

    I'm done with this argument, I know what I need
    I'm not stopping, I will proceed
    I'll get what I want, and I'll be out of your way
    As time goes on, please remember this day

    Um , the only thing i noticed that was kind of off what the line :
    You're making me feel like I don't have a heart .
    I don't know .. It just seems kind of , strange ? Maybe replace it with some thing along the lines of "you're breaking my heart" .

    Other than that , just the flow being off in a few places , but still 5/5

    Great poem, the flow was really good it made me want to keep reading. I can also relate to this poem and I'm ure that there are others who could too. I gave it a 5/5 I saw nothing wrong with it.
