He Taught Me

He taught me, never to trust myself Second guessing became second nature He taught me, that his rejection was nothing Minimal to that of the world He taught me loneliness, with him at my side physically there, mentally long gone He taught me, that I wasn't good enough on to the next, or back to the ex He taught me, how to feel invisible even good girls finish last He taught me, how to be his shoulder but was no where to be seen when I needed one He taught me, how to be alone than he got upset when I mastered the art of it He taught me, how to be bad didn't expect I'd do it better than him He taught me, how to run to him couldn't take it when I ran from him He taught me, how to survive in chaos sometimes in my peace I create it He taught me, about comfort and never to trust it He taught me, how to need him but to never rely on him He taught me, how to do the deed get dressed, walk out and pretend like it meant nothing He taught me, not to feel to build walls all around me He taught me, disappointment and to never let it surprise me He taught me, that big girls don't cry to suck it up and move on He forgot to love me.

Hey never loose hpe, remember that God is always with you, He ll help you and guide you in your every step, God s the one who love you like 80 mothers, how can He forget you, He ll definately sent someone in your life who will change it, it can be anybody and don t ever loose hope, just have believe and always remember this life is only a test, you just need to pass it so that when you ll stand in front of your God you ll go in heaven, but i truly wish from heart that you find someone sincair

Your Free Verse (that's what it is), speaks of so much hurt and loneliness. And pain. But you are here, and you are writing it all down, for us to read, and perhaps for yourself. It is beautifully written, welcome to PoetrySoup :)

A very beautiful written poem, first of all who is"he" and secondly at last did you consider him as a good person or bad, just a question, no offense, don t answer it if you don t want to but remember if he s your father then it s your duty to love him, as you re his blood,again just an opinion no offense, because my father met his father for the first time at the age of 18, he came back after 16 years, anyway i wanted you to read my poems and tell me how you feel about them,
