I've been through things that no one should <br />though no pity I am wanting <br />Just because you may think I have peace <br />I've got ghosts that often haunt me <br /> <br />Mistakes I've made are big ones true <br />If I said you wouldn't like me <br />I've ran away and abandoned too <br />Join the club of those who have judged me <br /> <br />I swear I don't mean to sound crass <br />But sarcastic is often my way <br />then again I am a sweet woman often <br />But I've been rather angry all day <br /> <br />I'll admit right now I judge others <br />I know I shouldn't it's true <br />But again and again I have done it <br />Hit me too hard with words I'll cut you <br /> <br />So why am I writing this now <br />I'm asking myself as I go <br />Do I have an ulterior motive? <br />I don't know I really don't know <br /> <br />Don't get me wrong I have feelings <br />in reams and in stacks all around <br />but there are days I hate what I say <br />I wish everyone would just melt in the ground <br /> <br />I scream and I have a hot temper <br />I've been known to throw things around <br />I bet by now you hate me or love me <br />If you listen real close you'll hear it right now <br /> <br />What will you hear you might ask me? <br />the sound of that voice in your thoughts <br />the one that hates or loves these words <br />no matter how fast the reflection's not caught.<br /><br />Caroline Witherington<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2-halves/
