Questions And Confusion

by Baby Rainbow   Jul 9, 2012


So many things I don't understand,
too many questions I cannot ask.
Unanswered questions making me confused
but all of this I hide behind my mask.

It makes me feel stupid,
it makes me feel scared.
All I can do is cry through the night,
fighting with these questions
just to find out what is right.

What will people think of me?
if I dont know right from wrong.
But all these things that I don't know
have all been left too long.

I will ask no questions,
no answers shall I find.
I will battle with this confusion,
alone inside my mind.

    I love this beginning stanza it immediately acts as an open door leading the reader straight into your thoughts and for one thing I completely relate. Life in itself is a bitter confusion and the more we try to understand it the more we lose ourselves.
    I like how you used mask here I find it very effective and powerful!

    I love the expressionism you have used letting the reader view your heart and understanding the way you feel about life in a certain point and time. In a way it is a great way to be very succinct with who you are and brings to this poem a deep sense of individuality.

    Another thing I like about this poem is its degree of simple flow, it really flows well in structure and rhyme and is very easy to follow and read from a readers perspective. I like your technique of asking a rhetorical question as it leads the reader to also participate unintentionally by asking the same question in their own life. I find it very effective and a great poetic strategy!

    I love this ending you have used so many powerful words such as questions, answers, battle (which comes right out at me) and alone inside my mind because in reality that is exactly what we humans do we alone have to configurate our minds and our minds are so deadly and horrible they imact everything such as the way we feel, think, act, etc.
    I really liked reading this
    Thanks for sharing

    First of all this breaks my heart... to be alone with all the questions and confusion... sighs- I need to hug you now <3

    I can relate, I have been there, not having a trusting soul to talk to... alone in my mind with so many questions unanswered, but I always turned to nature and somehow, someway, I made it through...

    What I adore about your writes Saffie, is you can take me to a moment in time, touching my heart...

    The elegant simplicity of your soul is right here in front of me, its breathtaking and I thank you for sharing this piece~
