When will you see me as I am?
When will the sun set in the East?
It is impossibility, don’t you know?
I am not who you see.
When will I see me for what I am?
When will the Earth fall off its Axis?
Will I emerge like the birth of a Phoenix?
I am not that strong.
Fierce and ferocious, covers my fears
I act the tough one, don’t see my tears.
I try to forget to begin anew
Yet something draws me back, hurts me through and through.
Wrap me in your arms to protect me
Let me know that I am what you need.
Because I will take your life force from you
To sustain me, to give me life.
Pleasure in body, torture in mind
Teach me to give that which is not mine
Show me a love that’s too good to be true
And I will show you the monster I am.
I will reject the sweet words you utter
Though I will cherish them beyond a doubt
I cannot see that which you see
You cannot save me.
This is not my first jaunt into Poetry but it is of a darker sort. Please bear with me and if you think there is no talent, tell me...honesty is the best policy Take care and hope you enjoy. Linnie
Very good, Linnie. The trick to having talent lies in dedication and passion. I think you have both of these qualities in abundance. Thanks very much for your nice review of my poem.
It shows a lot of promise, I enjoyed it, keep at it.;-)

Decent organization, especially in the beginning. I like the heart of what you are saying.
A poignant story about letting go of a narcissist in your life. Have you ever been attacked FULL force by a narcissist? It's the closest thing to being stabbed over and over in the back.
