Today, well, actually technically yesterday, I wrote this poem. It took 3 hours to complete, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. So here it is!

Misconception
As I try to work on what I must complete,
I notice that my thoughts of it have blurred,
And soon my mind feels like a blank sheet.
It seems like my thoughts have been deterred,
Since, as I try to focus, I find I can't.
All I can hear are the things she says, each and every word,
Along with the things my thoughts chant.
She believes I don't care and questions me why,
Yet I stay silent, only able to think
About the things I'd like to reply.
I want to speak, but I don't release my words, even the ones at the brink.
This has happened before, and last time, I had let myself cry.
But, this time, I want the outcome to be different,
So I won't let this end up as just a mere repeat.
I don't let myself be vociferant,
And I don't admit defeat.
Instead, I stay silent
But I don't allow myself to retreat.
Seemingly, her words mean nothing to me,
Yet, in truth, they cut right through me like a knife.
However, I know that I can't let her see
The impact, how the words helped to fuel my internal strife.
I can't let her know how it disrupted my reality,
How it worsened the struggle I deal with in my daily life.
I can't let it escape, my silent plea.
I know that if I were to let it out,
If I were to blurt out my wish to flee,
I wouldn't be able to stop, and I would shout
About my longing to be free from this prison that is my mortal body.
Also, I worry that I would say how I have begun to misdoubt
Everything I think or have thought about who or what I am, while breaking.
I am afraid to let my true feelings show,
Since I believe the risk of doing so, is one not worth taking.
Finally, she has decided to let me go.
Even though she has finally left me alone,
My negative thoughts continue to flow.
These torturous notions are something I can't help but condone.
I wish I could get them to end,
But I can't seem to shake the feeling that they're all I've ever known.
I'm aware that my perception,
Along with my self-deception,
Are all built upon misconception.
