Want It All

by Jenni Marie   Feb 6, 2009


Funny how things can change so drastically
For I admit that I never used to trust
The thought of letting someone close
Only left me feeling sick with disgust

Hiding emotions with brutal sarcasm
Making sure my defense was in place
Never letting true emotions show
For I carefully hid my real face

Then that one day you came along
And suddenly I realized I could fall
Tried to keep emotions secret
'Cause I knew that I'd want it all

Was so scared that you'd hurt me
Like everyone I'd trusted before
Now finally realizing I was wrong
For you're everything I want and more

    "Then that one day you came along"
    'then that' ruins the flow of the poem, I think you should pick one or the other.

    I liked the last verse the best. It held a lot of the poem's emotion, and the last line is what made it magical. This one was a good one as well, just that one little thing to edit, and it should be great!

    Keep it up!
