Today's Reality

Alone in my room thinking of you And all the hell that we've been through And all this time I couldn't see That this isn't how it was meant to be We were fools to think that we could make it right When all we ever did was always fight Neither of us would ever take the blame Because to admit our faults would be a tragic shame Because we live in a life based off pride So we build up our walls so we can hide We strive in never letting our feelings show If we don't air our pain, no one will ever know And we would never have to face the rejection Of never being the type the other will mention So dumb in love and drowning in bliss We almost always keep things mysterious because you can't love someone you don't know it would be so much easier to let them go and you can't hurt someone that you don't love a pointless sorry would be enough when we're slow to think and fast to do live it like it's just us two tell me how can we ever be when we're living in today's reality?

So real it hurts. A lot of life learned in these words as we grow from our experiences.

Such truism in this deep poem, great expression Chelsy. The sadness of letting go, when its required is a feeling we all can relate too. Amazing imagery of those feelings. Enjoyable overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.

I'm going to have to save this one! Pride can lead you down some lonely streets.

The reality of life is sadly often this painful acknowledgement of our failure to love. Great poetic expression.
