stranger me

By keltruth7

Trying so hard to be good
stepping up to bright light
falling fast
never content with who i am
shutting me out
cutting my heart
loved ones have never been
family tied to other means
stranger than fiction
stranger of me
testing souls of intimate pain
the weave of damaged pieces
breaking and shaking
they know
do they care
no one to hold but one
i feel it all
and...
she will just let me burn

I too am familiar with such bitterness, and like Malcholm struggles make for excellent poetry, I really liked this, thanks for sharing.

When I read this I think of the struggles I have with my enemy. She too would let me burn. Some days I win...some days she does. This was written in such a way it can be taken by many and made to fit their life. Good job there =)
