Biting My Nails

Biting My Nails

A Poem by Megan
"

I guess I'm just nervous

"
You make me revert to bad habits
Like bitting my nails
And closeting my sadness
So you wont feel guilty 
You've turned my mind into madness
Running through conversations
Trying to find where I went wrong
Hunting for what I could have said
That would throw us apart
'Cause losing you would be my fault
I know I'm too clingy 
Making you ready to leave
Even though the nights just begun 
I can't seem to get enough
My mother says it's because you're immature
The way you make me so insecure
We're too young to think about the future
Just enjoy what we have now
Yet you give me the tendency to worry
Like this itch I can't scratch 
Residing in the back of my mind
Avoiding it with all my might
'Cause sinking down in thought again
About what losing you would mean
Would recall dark depression 
That I can't bear to bear a thousandth time
Such is life I suppose
On goes the mating of deer and doe
You'll carry a piece of me wherever you go
Regardless if you stay or leave
At least we'll have the memories?
So there is the business of sadness
That I am left to deal with 
But I've had it with sadness
I just want my own piece of happiness
Maybe I should just go with it
Accept all is fare in love and war
Part of me thinks the man that said this
Hadn't experienced either things
So I think the way I'll handle it
Is drinking and smoking 
And deviling in the self destructive

See this kind of writing makes more sense to me! :p lol. Very good, it pretty much points out the fear of being left alone, being young, and just being plane out scared of loosing what you have built up between the two of you. I'm assuming that you may between 16-18ish?" Which are when women are usually still sensible emotion loving beings, its after they get stomped on once or twice when they get cold and mean! lol. I usually end up with the after girls. Relationships drive us mad! An they drive us away from love, but if you remember to never give up on love! You may turn out normal, unlike the rest of are Generation lol. But as you will find, its going to be insanely difficult. If someone can't love you for you, then don't bother with them! Move on to something knew,and always look deep down inside before you decide to make a choice for a mate. Look into your heart, and not those nice moist spots that yearn for many of things :p. Life is about love! A poet is about Love, with a hint of great sex!

A lot of emotions in this poem... I never believed in the too young thing. I understand the clingy part. I tend to be that way but I call that being passionate.

Yea I'm pretty sure the guy that said "all is fair in love and war" had no idea what he was talking about. There isn't anything fair about love or war. I really enjoyed this write and I can defiantly relate as I'm sure most of us can. It's sad that these issues push us to be self destructive but that is the way it usually goes. Excellent work.

10 views but only 2 reviews? C'mon people! Have you ever read good poetry? If you have, then this poem should be getting an abundance of reviews. I really liked this poem, mostly because I've been in a relationship with someone that has called me clingy and annoying when we broke up. Anyways, this was a beautiful and true poem to read, and I loved every line of it.

"I know I'm too clingy
Making you ready to leave
Even though the nights just begun
I can't seem to get enough"

But my favorite line would have to be:
"My mother says it's because you're immature
The way you make me so insecure"
Just brilliant, Megan. :3

Well there's not too much to tell I like to keep things simple And when I write sometimes it's constructed And other times I just go off on a tangent. I like to really examine emotions I.. more..
