I've learned

A Poem by Adalia
"

a few things i've found about myself recently

"
i've recently found
that i physically can't
cry when i am cold
when i want to cry
when i am sad and need it
i just can't do it
------------------------------------------
i have given up
on pretending to be fine
because i am not
------------------------------------------
i wish that i could
express all of my problems
but i just cannot
-----------------------------------------
i am so, so lost
they say it's because i'm young
no- i know better
yes there are others
who are also so, so lost
i just don't know how
i got to be like
this because i used to be
so sure of myself
.............................................
i think about you
constantly but i know that
i really should stop
----------------------------------------
i wish i knew my
self better than i do be
cause it scares me.
i'm falling apart

I kinda had my derpface on at the beginning because of the first haiku, but the rest pulled me in. You don't have to worry about the pattern falling apart, because there doesn't need to be one. The reader sees the pattern, and through your words sees YOU. Just as we see you fall apart, we also sees the haikus start to come undone as well. Beautiful.

That feeling of wanting to express something that you just can't. The crying part at the beginning. That gets to me because I've been there.
