Something Within

Something within , that was, just died thought 'she' would fill-in straight away If all is fair in love and war why does someone always get hurt ? when I left me, I really cried. Did not expect to take a day why then did it, take 'I' so long? I don't confess my love for you something within. What funny twist of fate did say to drain the 'him' away with song so love is hidden, with my pride your friendship is more important that I sill like women "that way" something within. Elizabeth alexander 21/3/2016 I am left feeling foolish that I denied my true self for so long (six decades),I mentally found it hard to accept that I was in the wrong body. did anyone even notice the even meter ?

Hey Beth, sorry to hear that. I know less about this website then you and it doesn't make sense to me that the help desk folks would respond to someone reporting something on behalf of someone else. This site feels very complicated to me as a whole so I am going to stick with allpoetry.com. I do send thoughts to you for support, as you figure out how to address the issue you are having. Thank you for the explanation about even meter.
