Love, Unjudged

What should be the chance

of me having a forbidden romance?

The love for him that I feel

Nothing else feels more real

The feeling that I harbor

so innocent, so pure

Tarnished by the jeers

that I could everyday hear

They laugh at me

They ask me - "have I no standards?"

 They don't believe what they see

call us real life beauty and the beast

But it is not him who is the beast,

but the rest of the world

With blindfolded eyes,

they don't see his worth

Their laughter in my ear keeps playing on and on

I break down and take the bait

and when I look back,

he's gone

We can't allow the world to control our emotions. The world is cold and heartless.. A sad ending to the poetry.. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

I really like this, I feel like it's something that happens pretty commonly and you expressed the emotions and shame that goes along with it beautifully.

I love the poem! It perfectly epitomizes how one would feel in that situation. But, if there was one thing I would change, it would be the lack of a continuous rhyme scheme. The first portion? of the poem is rhymed, but the rest is not. Overall though, great writing. Keep it up!
