Taught me

Taught me

lost inside of my own mind,
lost in my own little world,
bit by bit I lose more of myself,
bit by bit I'm giving up,
mother taught me to lie father taught me to hide,
oh brother who am I supposed to be, losing myself while trying to find myself,
loving and losing, 
which path should I choose torn apart and frozen hearts hiding my fears,
hiding from who I truly am,
wanting to brake free,
waiting for the right time but in reality there is no right time,
I don't show emotions
I don't show fear,
I hide everything inside all while slowly going insane,
smiling on the outside slowly breaking on the inside,
all because mother taught me to lie and father taught me to hide

Wow!! TERESA!!...that's a seriously compelling piece......I REALLY wish you would have broken your lines into a more poetic formatting....because you certainly have a rhythm and poetic sense of timing running throughout this piece (Just a suggestion ~ no offense intended)........I just really like what you've done here ~

                   Father taught me to hide
                   Oh brother who am I
                   Supposed to be..."

You have some VERY poetic phrasing woven into this write.......and the subject matter is universal...... making it all the more compelling......ALL STARS!!.....well done dear poet sister.....and.....In case no one has said so......WELCOME to COSMOI!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo   : )
