Poems

FEELING

I hate lying.

I hate fake smiles

The “I’m okay”s 

The “don’t worry about me”

Everything will be fine.

I hate crying.

I hate tear stained cheeks

The “I have to let this out

Or it will kill me” mentality.

I hate feeling.

I hate the broken hearts

And the pain I go through 

After I’ve put my all into you.

I hate myself.

Because after all I say I hate,

I still love you.

I still love human connection

The shared stories

The memories.

But what I hate the most.

Is the pain loving gives me in return.
