Conflicted

Hug

Shrug
Love
Lie
Cry
Truth
Deny
Deceive
Believe
My heart
On sleeve
Accept?
Reject
Hopeless
Desire
On fire
Perfect?
Reject
I love
U shove
Denial
Exile
Unwanted
Persuaded
To leave me
Lost; faded.
Commit to
True feeling
Misguided
Left reeling..

[Wynter Ignatius]

Minimalist in design yet speaks to the chaotic mind we all have at least at one point in our lives and often never rid ourselves of. Reminds me of many things in my past especially my high school years (a dark time for me but isn't that everyone in some way?).

I like it - reminds me of some of my works and my more angst ridden pieces.

[Coyote Poetry]

Very good flow of words. The poem made sense using the minimum amount of words. Conflict and find right place to be. A hard journey for all. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This was a little bit different style, but I like it. I think one word lines pack a punch, because they just get right down to the meaning and raw emotion. Enjoyed reading this, thanks for sharing. Keep writing!!

I like it when authors experiment. Just with these one liners, I can really feel the poem. I like how one line affects the other, as an reaction from the pervious line. Such a good concept.

[W. C. Forrest]

The entire cycle starting from acceptance to denial and ending with the feeling of loss has been beautifully portrayed. Well drafted with precision and clarity. Great read.
I probably have have written more words in the review than your poem.

It's okay, I guess. Two things that irked me were the use of 'u' instead of you, and the use of a semi-colon when I think a comma would have worked just fine. Interesting style. I think you used this before? Not sure. I think your previous experiment was better. This one lacks meaning to me.

[Petals & Pearls]

I liked the other one, Plaything, better, but I enjoyed this one too. Love the style!

I enjoyed the fact that the style really enhanced that feeling of being conflicted - of jumping between different decisions in the blink of an eye. Good write, for sure!

[JB Murray]

This is great... I enjoyed this concept, whether intentional on your part or not. I've read this four or five times through, sometime two lines at a time, sometimes three, sometimes four, and every read has an almost different meaning altogether. I might have to try something like this.

[Undying Glory]

those one word lines are really powerful here and this poem flows pretty well :)
i really like all the feeling here. great!
