The world you're living in

by Chelsey   May 17, 2012


While butterflies flutter and peony flowers blossom in your world,
I still have days where clouds darken the sky and
trees are dying as my mind stains the oxygen with
poisonous thoughts, all consumed by you

It may be shocking to some that I still write
harsh, sad poetry that are filled with words you define,
but they say it takes a month for every year you know someone
then double it, to arrive to a point of moving on and forgetting
This means I have a year and half to fill journals and web pages
with how heartbroken I still am over our downfall

I can only imagine how you bashed my name
called me the less caring, the non-supporter
But I...I have yet to give my side of the story
Of how I felt attacked and betrayed,
Forgotten and ignored,
Belittled and mistaken

You may live in a world where things are one sided,
where you are always right, and your feelings
are the only thing on the Earth that matters
I'm here to tell you, you are damn wrong.
That my pillow was drenched in a thousand tears
And tissues held my DNA as I cried at how you didn't care

See I don't know what world you are living in,
but I come from a place where communication is the key
"I'm sorry" is said after a disagreement, and laughter
Ha! Laughter comes when we realize how much of a joke
all this actually was.

I have tip toed around my own poetry, hiding how I feel
Using metaphors, soft spoken words
to ease the pain and to ignore how I truly feel
But they told me to write. They told me to give more
So this is my cry , the pouring out of how alone I felt
when you decided your world was more important than mine

    This definitely feels like a poem you needed to get out of your system. I love it!

    It's so sad but there's this strong element to the words in the end like you're standing up for yourself and just giving it to them.

    Loved it

    Oh what a poem

    You may live in a world where things are one sided,
    where you are always right, and your feelings...
    Not a happy line there, but well done and well composed

    I'm happy you took by my advice and wrote what you truly feel without those metaphors that stop you most of the time from expressing freely what you feel inside... I am always feeling like am enchained just because I must perfect my wording and all but since a while I began to be more spontanious and that made me even more comfortable while writing!

    I wish you all the best, friend. :)

    This is really a pouring out of emotion in this piece, I like the smoothness and also the vent.
    It feels good to let it out. Nicely done.

    This is my favorite part and the one I feel you have pour out the most emotion.
