Confused Poem by Tiger Lily Love

Confused

Rating: 5.0


Don't ask me who I am
Because I don't know anymore

Don't ask me what I believe
Because I'm no longer sure

Don't ask me who I want to be
Because that answer eludes even me

The answers I once knew so well
Have slowly but surely departed

Leaving me stranded
In a mess of mine own thoughts
Wishing I was back where I started

The only thing I know now to be true
Is that I am positively confused

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
As hinted by the title, I wrote this when I was at a very confusing time in my life. Things that I thought I wanted, I suddenly started to question and doubt, things that I thought defined who I was, didn't seem to match who I thought I wanted to be, and things that I've always believed in and willing wanted, didn't seem to appeal to me and felt forced upon on me.

Loved the whole thing, but some highlights would be: Don't ask me what I believe Because I'm no longer sure AND The answers I once knew so well Have slowly but surely departed Honest & relatable, nice work.

Leaving me stranded In a mess of mine own thoughts Wishing I was back where I started How many times have I thought the exact same thing! Its like a ball of yarn that you used to have wrapped up tightly and confidently suddenly gets pushed out of your hand and unraveled. Now you can't get it back how it was and you're not even sure if you want to. You expressed yourself very well and very honestly. Awesome job!
