Trapped In-between

First stanza; Feeling trapped between one emotion and the other is absolutely torture. On one hand, you love them... but on the other hand, they make you miserable. It's hard to be strong and that that step towards walking away because they have been the only thing you have ever known. Unhappiness has been home and it's scary to take a leap of faith towards another path that could lead you either happiness or towards more unhappiness. It's a thin line.

Second stanza: You blame yourself even though it isn't your fault. They lied to you and took advantage of your young age.

Third stanza: You are still torn between blaming yourself and then blaming then as well. You have your good days where you cast the blame off on them and your bad where you sit and ponder on all the wrong doings and try to say it is your fault instead of theirs.

Fourth stanza: You plan for darkness because it is your safe haven.. you completely shut your mind down and don't think about anything at all... no blame game, no worries, nothing.

Ending: Your past still haunts you and you still continue to be in this in-between state that has trapped you for the beginning of your younger years.

This is sad, girl. I hope one day you are able to come to peace and realize that what happened, you are most certainly not at fault. <3

First- When you feel trapped by a person it's very difficult to deal with. You should always live your life for you no matter what others think. But I also believe that love makes us blind and makes us feel "safe" for the one's we love. I like how you say in-between here. Love is a very conflicting thing. Yes you want to feel happiness with them but also when they treat you badly you don't know what to do. You believe they will change for the better.

Second/third- I would say you are spot on in the second stanza. Though they shouldn't have hurt you at all. You can also just walk away.. though I know how it feels indeed. I think some people are strong enough to walk away and some it's more difficult. Again you should never blame yourself for something you did wrong. Believe what you want to believe no matter if it is right or wrong. I alsolove how you used the time as a guide of some sort. Today is a struggle yes but I think we all can hope for a better day tomorrow.

Four/end- You make tomorrow out to be a dark thing but you cannot say that. Though through your past makes it dark. You can change today little by little and make tomorrow a little brighter than the last. The last stanza holds so much. The tone flows through out the whole poem but it's a confliction we all go through. Do we blame ourselves yes... but what do we do? We see ourselves has these "horrible " humans when we are not to blame at all. People who hurt us for no reason are these horrible people. Who knows why they do it. But they do... anyway. This is another great poem saffie and the message is so strong!
