Forgive me..

Forgive me..

A Poem by Douglas Levi Gribbins
"

It's good to be back.

"
You ain't looking at the man that you should see.
And you ain't seeing the man i should be.
Only she see's the man that i could be.
I would be an angel, but god never understood me.
I've had a tough past, some kids think it's funny
ribbon around all my scars, turned me right into a mummy
Most of my thoughts go unseen, A curse? It must be
Cut me up until the pain makes my loved ones trust me
All my life I've lived under stitches and or a mask
Spent every breath like the final one, every second like it's the last.
Now i know that i can be rude, just cause i won't take disrespect.
I don't need anybody, It's only myself that i can affect.
So forgive me..

I like the honest and directness of the poem. I agree. We cannot accept disrespect. No weakness in the excellent poetry.

The first four lines, i love them! Really nice work; the misery is acute, the words are strong..

It takes some courage to unwrap who we are. and share it even if it's not pretty. . .nice read. . . thanks for the share!

This has a great opening line, and the second line is a strong follow up, the third is the one we all relate to. The feeling of being misunderstood and the struggle to be good opens us up for pain and heartache. It is easy to be bad but it is with great strength we are good. It is in these trials that make us who we are and something you inevitably want to share with someone special if they could only see past the scars of battles. The rough edges can often times keep others at bay and then we become defensive....this is where you have a choice....either to let them in or not and build a thicker wall so that no one will ever get in. Only you can decide the cause and affect...with the final line of "so forgive me"....makes me feel you will choose to let the right one in but it will be a challenge for them and for you, you just want to be tried so you can love. I am just trying to read in between the lines as well as the lines themselves. This is a very powerful and emotional poem, great work, keep it up! :)))

Douglas,

This got to me. A lot.

I loved the way you ended the poem. It was classic.

Good job.

A mask seldom covers reality and stitches dissolve eventually - emotional piece ...
