Crazy

You never see me hurting

Because I don't want you to.

Why don't you care?

I'm hiding! Go away!

I want help! I need it! Why won't you hold out a hand?

Get away from me! I don't need you. Leave me be!

Is this crazy? Am I insane?

I want help and then I push It away.

It's like there's two of me

one shy and one pleading

while both of their hearts are bleeding.

Talk to me now! I need your warm embrace.

Get away! I don't want to see your face!

I'm tearing myself in two,

I need to stop this,

they're taking over

who are they?

They're not me!

This is.

Why am I suppressed?

What's going on?

What's happening?

I don't understand,

I'm confused,

Why is this happening?

An outsider watches.

As the girl holds her head in her hands.

And her books drop to the ground.

At the same time as she does.

And if you look closely.

You can see,

three specters

gliding away from her body.

I shall be honest... I love this. I loved the different use of fonts to show the two side and then at the end it comes away from an outsiders point of view. Oh and the use of the word 'you' draws the reader into the story. Really nice.

Very, very easy reading I love it, it's a complex poem in the sense that you can pick it up in a good or bad way , you might mis understand the concept but if you do it's like a diary or a memory, captured beautifully x

hey sophie! This is such a great poem! At the begining I thought that she had Schizophrenia but I understand how the specters work too. Some times I feel how the girl in this feels, like you need help, you know it and in some aspects you want it, but you don't want help at the same time. Life can be confusing. BTW, are you supposed to be the girl in this poem, is she someone you know, or if she just a random character?

Hi Sophie
I like it. This is really pretty common. It has been a hallmark in all the women in my life... they say right and then go left. I believe it’s mandatory for woman of the female persuasion... I could be wrong but I don’t think so. The first five years my wife and I were married it was the Christmas roller coaster to hell... I can laugh about it now but it was one of the scariest time in my life... her eyes!! My God, her eyes !! My heart still skips a beat when a door bangs ! I think you captured it perfectly !!
