Not Quite Gilligan

Yes, folks, this is me...

Fraudulent words dribble from my
mouth
Guilt basting my tongue
Lies of love build up in your ears
Blocking you from the world
I assure you I am fine
Standing on my naïve island
Flooded by my attempt at isolation
Marks of failure criss-cross
my legs
Screaming red with the
pretention of who I am pretending
to be

Wow what a great poem! your creativity is amazing
"Standing on my naïve island
Flooded by my attempt at isolation"

This is no ordinary poem i normaly read in this website.

So its Gilligan from Gilligan's island? good choice!

I also like your nickname.

i have been made whimsical :)p we build so many deffences we believe we are safely alienated from anyone and even pretending is a pretence...

I believe every word of this poem carries emotion, every line holds a life's burden and the complete poem withholds a generation of grief.
