Free Verse Poems:

Twisted

I feel like there's two sides of me

One, that I want everyone to see

And one, where I am who I want to be

Not the person that I pretend to be

How can I make these two sides, collide ?

I can't decide which one is me

Am I truly that cruel and mean?

Is this the evil side of me?

Where I simply don't care about anyone or anything

Or the good side of me?

That's passionate and caring

I'm so confused with who I am

I feel like I'm wearing a different mask each day

Where I take it off and feel relief

But still feel hidden inside a pool of lies

And misconceptions that even I can't tell

What is real and what is fake

Sometimes I have these thoughts inside

This, then makes me take the pain away

When people see what I have done,

They look at me like I have done something wrong

That's when they take me away

I then become even more confused

I just hope that one day

I can fully escape the pain

In hell or in heaven

Please God, take away my pain

Give me thy name

Give me thy true soul

Get rid of this hallow mask

That I carry like a burden

And give me hope

A sign, of who I truly am
