Grey

I want to be the light at the end of the tunnel

though I act like the darkness

I was never good at going to sleep

though I spend my day dreaming

I complain that I am lonely

though I never reply to texts

I am scared of the dark

though I feel exposed in the light

I wish

though I don't try

I don't know what hypocritical is

I am just an area of grey

I really like how you expressed yourself through this. The way you started this really gets it going and like how you want one thing, but do the opposite. Kind of like me. I feel lonely sometimes, but never reply to some texts when people want to talk to me. We all need our space and we must embrace the things we are most afraid of.

Excellent comparisons...... You really nailed this one. I can identify with these words very much.

Hmmm, interesting poem. I liked it. Sums up the way I feel sometimes, almost sounds like depression.

We are, after all, our own worst enemies. Maybe that's the definition of going with the flow....living in the grey.

This holds a feeling of deep sadness and loneliness. This is a very delicate poem. Good job!
