Untold



I tried to hold on,
I tried to be what no one could for me,
I tried to give all my love until gone,
And I tried to give him all I could be.

I’m not like everyone else.
Is something wrong with me?
Am I broken, or
Am I just a flee?

A pest,
A nuisance,
A painful mistake to everyone, indeed.

About this poem

This poem is about my feeling of heartbreak and how I felt as though I was less than and not good enough for the person I once loved.
