I Know Better

Welcome to my world. It's all fairy tales and unicorns, I swear.

I Know Better

 I thought I knew better,

 Than to dare let you in.

 In a world where love never lasts forever,

 There is nothing I can do to win.

               I don't know why I thought that you were different,

               But for you I really tried my very best.

               I wish I put between us that barrier of distance,

               'Cause now I know you're just like all the rest.

                               So I will build the biggest wall I can to keep us apart,

                               Because I want nothing more than to keep you out.

                               And I will lock cold, hard bars on my heart,

                               'Cause the fact that anyone can care I seriously doubt.

                             

                 Don't mistake me, I am glad you are joyful,

                 Happy that you find pleasure in my pain.

                 But I thank you and keep my glass half full,

                 Because nobody is ever getting through that wall again.

                                      

 I will survive this life by any means necessary,

 And so the best way to conquer is to divide.

 I will stand on my own and take my victory,

 Because now I know better than to let you on my side.  

                  

                         

Author's Note

I felt like spewing more feelings. Have more feelings. Actually, fun fact, the main character of book I am writing on here, (which I will probably re-write completely at some point) goes through this mindset a lot. This is because I have to have something BIG I can relate to when I am writing my characters in order to put my emotion into them. That being said, this is the biggest thing (and probably the only thing) I have in common with Sebastion from The Black Arrow.

A very troubling and introspective look at love and the trust that binds us; I have to say, I didn’t notice one damn unicorn. It’s amazing the barriers people put up to protect themselves, usually after trust has been broken, and a heart torn to shreds, but if history teaches us anything, there’s always a weak spot to be found in the future. I could see this as an internal conflict for Sebastian, his mother, the new sultry dame, not to mention a kinship with a tracker and a b*****d. Well done, Brit, be sure to let me know when the next chapter is back up.

Thank you for the read and input! By the way, I put the sixth chapter up last night.

This is a great poem.
Tells the pain that the person has gone through that he/she can no more trust anyone.
Tells about the realization after being hurt.
