The truth they like to avoid
Dependent personality disorder has got me stressing.
On my knees confessing,
My sins.
And you think I’m just messing,
around.
To tell the truth I’m feeling down.
Depression is an ocean and I’m starting to drown.
In all of this sorrow I must be a clown.
Painting on my smile and pretending now.
This isn’t funny.
This is no game.
I’m not pointing fingers.
I’m not placing blame.
But since he left I haven’t been the same.
On my knees confessing,
My sins.
And you think I’m just messing,
around.
To tell the truth I’m feeling down.
Depression is an ocean and I’m starting to drown.
In all of this sorrow I must be a clown.
Painting on my smile and pretending now.
This isn’t funny.
This is no game.
I’m not pointing fingers.
I’m not placing blame.
But since he left I haven’t been the same.

Dear M,
I don’t believe we’re ever the same after a breakup. Especially if we didn’t do the breakup part. For me, it will always hurt, in some fashion, forever. Aside from the related truth of your poem, I really liked how you gently rhymed throughout. I also liked the spacing of it because it allowed me to absorb the meaning and depth of each sentence and its intensity. H🌷

And sadly, he will never entirely be gone from you. He is forever in your mind. As the Chinese proverb has it, the deepest cuts never sever......i wish lot of courage in dealing with thisé

Probably the last time I open my heart to a woman. It hurts too much. Especially when you are cheated on and you thought that love was real, but it wasn't. Why even bother to try?
I felt this one. Good, honest write.

Really feeling this. Just gone through breakup and feel the same. Trying to smile on the outside to show others I’m fine but inside I’m just at rock bottom. Hope you’re ok (daft thing to say I know!).
