Michelle Mcdermin Poet Free verse

Cold Feet

How can I be so heartless
Do I really call all the shots
I expect change from everyone else
But I'm not willing to budge an inch
How does anyone love me so much

Do I just go along with it
Do I like being in control
I have everything planned in my own little world
How can I back down
How can I give in

How can I say this without them hating me
I'm spiteful
I know I am
It's how I block the pain
The pain that they caused me

What do I do from here
Life is changing for the better
and I'm getting doubts
How can someone
possibly love me so much
