The Moment of Truth

by Yuna   Feb 28, 2009


I don't want to move from this spot
I don't want to fall apart from the first finger I twitch.
I'm hanging by that memory that has kept me together until now
I have lost and I've realised that there is nothing i can do now.

My body is shaking, not from the everlasting cold outside
but from from truth that lies outside of my dreams
I am no longer safe
I am no longer safe
I am no longer safe

I hate these things they call feelings
because lately all they ever do is bring those same familiar tears
the reminder of my constant mistakes
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be here
I don't want to be who I am

I dont want to move from spot and risk the shattering pieces of my heart.

........
I'm still shaking....
I'm still living my nightmare
I'm still waiting for someone to hear me
I'm still waiting for someone to save me...

    Beautiful emotion behind these words like always. However, I think you could have conveyed them with a little more power. Perhaps shortening the longer lines so it was a steady flow? It seemed that some of what you were feeling was getting lost. But still, I particularly liked this line:

    "I don't want to fall apart from the first finger I twitch."

    It gave me this image of defenseless and uncertain. This line really set the poem up as it grabbed my attention. Also, the repetetiveness in the lines just showed how much you really feel about the words you were saying.

    I kind of find the topic a little generic, but seeing as I know who and what this is about (I think), it's harder to say that. And finally, love isn't something you should be looking for like this. It's something you come across and just know. So keep that in mind.

    Anyways, this was a pleasant read and I'd say 4/5
