I Keep Thinkin' Poem by Linda Ori

I Keep Thinkin'

Rating: 3.1


I keep thinkin'..........
When did you decide you were better than me?
When did you ever try to understand the real me?
Did you ever really hear what I was saying to you?
What gives you the right to ignore me?

I keep thinkin'..........
Am I crazy for still wanting to be your friend?
Is my self image so distorted that I still need you?
Am I a glutton for punishment to still want you?
Can I walk away and close the door and start over?

I keep thinkin'..........
I'm better than you ever thought I was.....
I am capable of greater love than you will ever know.....
I learned a big lesson in compassion by staying with you.....
I gave you the knowledge to be a better person.....

Will you cherish what I gave you so freely.........
Or will you continue to live shallow and alone?
The choice is yours.

You've got to keep thinkin'! . First rate analytical content, and good progression built into the structure, leading us through the poet's mind as it traverses the possibilities and reaches conclusions. Very solid writing Linda, and a rock solid attitude on display! xx jim

Pretty good life lesson here Linda. Choice. Lead a horse to water and all that. Don't bend over backward too much though.
