You wound me so much
with your constant judgements and
your hypocrisy
Your hypocrisy
is like a sweetheart online,
but truly heartless
But truly heartless
in real life, can’t stand it,
I can’t just pretend
I can’t just pretend,
I can’t pretend we are fine,
it’s just not enough.
It’s just not enough
to tolerate and accept
something that breaks us
Something that breaks us,
why can’t you just comprehend
your pride can kill you
Your pride can kill you,
it can make your heart so small,
don’t be ashamed please.
Don’t be ashamed please,
don’t let pride take over you,
falling is okay.
Falling is okay,
it’s okay to cry like rain,
tell me you are wrong.
Tell me you are wrong,
admitting things creates peace,
you are attractive
You are attractive,
when you illustrate effort,
effort, no begging.
Effort, no begging,,
to show effort is to show
that you value me.

I appreciated the repetition in this so much...felt like a conversation with myself. A lot of emotion in this as well. Great work :)
So heartfelt. The repetition literally captures how we think during times of sadness.
Say it ❤️💯
I love the play on form. Similar to a cinquain but all yours. Well done!
Well done. Excellent showcase of strength and emotion.
So emotional, Diani. ❤️ Very well done! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
Beautiful piece
Not me tearing up at “falling is ok. Falling is ok. It’s ok to cry like rain” 😭❤️. This was BEAUTIFUL.
