Scared Love

Scared Love

I'm scared

His arms are around me

My head on his chest

But I'm scared

These hugs feel wrong

As if every time will be the last

But yet I hope for more

But I don't trust

I'm afraid of being rejected

Afraid of being abandoned

I’m afraid I'll never find love

Afraid no one will ever care enough

I'm scared of losing him

But I know I will eventually

He will someday get tired of me

I know it will happen

Who would want me?

I’m just a nobody

Just a troublemaker

I walk into fights willingly

I will someday get hurt for it

I never know where to go

Never know how to stay out of drama

I never know what to say

I have no friends

Okay well maybe one or two

But most of them are fake

They act as though they are my friends

But I know that everyone will leave me

Eventually

No one wants to deal with me

No one could even keep up with my problems

Major anxiety

Psycho rage

Always irritable

Crazily depressed

So yeah, he probably is just acting

He probably doesn't care

He doesn't want me

He probably just wants to feel loved

He would probably take any girl

I'm not important

I have no meaning

I can't succeed in life

So why try?

Why don't I just give up?

I could stop doing my homework

I could just break up with him

It'd end all my doubts

I wouldn't have to worry anymore

All my stress would disappear

But what if he does care?

What if it's all in my head

I may be over reacting

But how does one know for sure?

So even tho I'm scared

I will stick by him

Until I get ditched

As I foresee soon occuring

The material for this poem is good. Potential, I see. However, try to work out on how you express your message. In a poem, you don't tell people what you feel. But you show them how you are feeling it. What was it like to be scared? You make comparison. You make unfamiliar familiar. Don't say that you are scared. Describe the feeling of being scared. I love this though. Hope to read more poems from you.

Uhhhh very good but it kind of sounds really morbid. I love writing in prose. Did you take inspiration for this? I like how its like you talking

What do you mean by "take inspiration for this?"

Ay there.

This won't be too long because there's not much poetry to review--and that's my damning criticism! What you have here is a list of sentiments that hasn't been fashioned into anything. Think of it as a blog post with line breaks. Consumable, publishable poetry takes these raw ingredients, as listed, and reforges them into a being of different shape. This means literary elements: narration, imagery, lyricism, evocation of thought or feeling, etc.

As it stands, your piece has none of these elements, and I'm loathe to call it a poem. Take this to a very large drawing board and consider scenes or images that would convey these feelings of mistrust and betrayal, of being hated and lonely, of feeling psycho (which I find insensitive, bee tee dubs), and actually give me, the reader, a reason to care about the grocery list you've given.

Find a conduit of your emotion. Put the emotion in. Fashion the conduit into an approachable shape. That's poetry.

Hope this helps,
Ty



Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.
