To Good 2 B True

Dear Diary,

I wrote a few poems when I was really upset, I decided to put them together since they are all on the same subject…

 

Boring tides of freedom

Chase away the hate

Tears that just flow freely

Angel please do taint

I do not deserve you

To good to be true

I am but  a person

Nothing much at all

Please just know I love you

You’re the best thing ever

To happen to me

And I must ask

Why me?

I can not help the tears, they come

So many think your to good

Am I just not enough?

I try not to think about it

But they keep on

You are to good for me

I should be left to roti want to tell them

Its me you so speak

So maybe they will get to know me

I’m not that bad

Everyone deserves happiness

Why can I not enjoy mine?

Please don’t say I am not good enough

It hurts to hear you say those things

When you do not even know me

Don’t judge me.

I kinda want to run away

Bury myself alive

I want to hide away from them

The sad things they do say

It hurts

I don’t know you

You know not me

So why say such mean things

Its against me

It makes me cry

Fears confirmed

Its hard to ignore

It makes me think

You may not know me

But who the hells to say

I’m not good enough?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I wish I could just show you everything I feel

So you could understand how I’m at war

My head says your to good to be true

My heart is leaping at the thought of you

Its so hard to listen when I have 2 different voices

Contradicting

 

I wonder why me

You know your worth it

I’m not very pretty or nice

Your very caring and sweet

I don’t disserve someone like him

Yes you do

I should be left to rot

You deserve to be happy

Maybe I don’t disserve anything

If you didn’t deserve it, you never woulda got it

I guess

You know

Shut up

Be happy and stop worrying

He is to good to be true

And he’s yours!

Yea… he is :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The Voices

They tell me I’m not worth it

I could never be enough

I aint pretty

Or smart

I should walk away

I’m no good

Your to good for me

I should be alone

I don’t disserve to be loved

How could you love me

I am no one

They go on and on everyday

And then I have one voice

She never gives up

And until she is heard

She screams

Your beautiful

Your sweet

Caring and gentle

Your worth much more than you think

No one should tell you what you disserve

People don’t know you the way I do

You can bring happiness and peace

Nothing should bring you down

Your amazing

And no matter what they say

He loves you

And you love him too

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I do my best to remind myself

There words mean nothing

Your love for me does flow

Like a river into the ocean

Continuously you show your love

I can’t say I am as well at it as you

But I just hope you always know

I love you.

Love the styles of poems you put together to make one long piece. The contradictory opinions/conversation with yourself is excellently done.
My only nit pick, for lack of a better word, is the appropriate use of to and too. There are many instances where you use to when it should have been too.

To ~expressing direction or emotion to a person, place, thing or point approached.

Too ~in addition to/also/me too; to an excessive amount too sick, too tired, too angry.

love it and the way you organized them tooo

Dear Vivere ad mihi, mi Deus,

What an eccentric way to do this and all the poems are so encouraging. I say my favorite has to be The Voices because it had inspired me to create a poem of mine. So, thank you so much! I enjoyed all the poems and can definitely relate because of my poor vision of self worth.

Sincerely Livana Lowell (LL)

God bless

I really like it but is this a conversation your having with yourself or with some one else just curious about it?

[Amila Jay]

Aww, those are times, I've been through this routine as well, totally love this combination of poems! Excellent write:)

[reflectingus]

AWW this is amazing. I love how you have combined the poems together, perfectly in order, that it makes so much sense. It was very creative of you to portray the contradictory opinions together, one on the left, the other on the right. And I love how, in the end, you finally come up with a conclusion, and can't deny the fact that you love him.

I can relate to this poem really well actually. There are times when I lose my self esteem over some guy, but in the end, I try to keep a smile on my face and believe that I'm beautiful, and totally worth him, and it turns out great. You should try it too :)
