I knew it wasnt true

Mizzy

I knew it wasn’t true

I knew it wasn’t true and how I lied to myself

I got so good at lying that I damaged my health

I listened to the words but I couldn’t take them in

But I knew right from the start that I would never win

I became good at avoiding like the letters in the mail

I acted like a lap dog and was chasing my tail

I just went round and round never getting anywhere

It was a game of choices but it wasn’t very fair

With the goal posts always moving I just couldn’t get to score

It was constant De J’ vu because I’d done it all before

Was a never ending torture full of bitterness and pain

And it was all so very likely I’d be going there again

Its so very quiet now, no shouting round my head

And I’m finding all the silence a bit deafening instead

I’m glad to have my freedom but I didn’t like to beg

Its like trying to dance the nutcracker with a broken leg

    WELCOME MIZZY ~ Thanks for your first poem ~ very poignant. Sorry you are back were you were 10 years ago ! Still it could be worse ~ you could have gone further down ! Love the last line "Like trying to dance the nutcracker with a broken leg !" For most of us MIZZY ~ life does seem like a "loosing battle" ~ BUT ~ if we have a "degree of freedom" that is a great blessing ~ Thinking of you ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) Please check my poems ~ Thanks B

    Freedom? Yes? Sounds like the end of a relationship. Hope all is working out for you. I liked the flow, the rhythm, of your poem and the rhyming, which does not feel forced, which is difficult to do. Well, welcome to MPS and will check out your stuff from time to time. - Phil A.
