High School: Honorable Mention

Two Sides

Swirls of confusion wrap around my head,

thinking the thoughts I have never said.

Torn Between Two masses,

ripped up inside.

With love not hatred,

forces me to hide.

Pressure and feelings all around,

I yell and yell but don’t make a sound.

Two sides to each person,

I’m hiding from all.

waiting and waiting,

for someone to call.

One thing on one’s mind,

while more on the other.

Knowledge gained; love has a cost.

Thinking...

Feelings never gained are never lost.
