Ive got my dependency confused with love,
my underconfidence with my humility,
my needs with my nicecity,
my fear with my anger,
my weaknesses with my depth,
my selfishness with my bonding,
my skin is like a reptile's,
its dead from the outside,
Im waiting for it to shed,
but beneath is too soft and tender,
I dont want to reveal myself.
Im too sensitive for that.
I still have hope,
I still pray,
U laugh?
What else can I do?
I have to keep going,
although I khow,
Im only.... moving in a circle.

How can you be waiting to shed yet you do not want to reveal yourself?
I have never felt that way and God knows that i never want to.
Take this into consideration though:
I've got love confused with infatuation,
My arrogance with my humility,
My needs with the things i want most,
My fears with my comforts,
My weaknesses with my strength,
My selfishness with my abundant heart to give.
My skin is like a reptile's,
It is rough on the outside,
I am afraid to let it shed,
But beneath it is so soft and tender,
At least i think so.
Now,
I do not want to reveal myself.
I am too sensitive for that,
I wish to have hope,
So yes i do pray.
Why do you laugh at me?
What else is there for me to do?
I have to keep going,
I am going, no where.
For i am only moving in a Circle.
If you had said this then i would know how you feel.

Everyone is perpetually moving in a circle; that's the final outcome of life. Most people feel this way at some time, and there never really is an answer. That's when people learn to cope, when they realize that their emo moments aren't going to be answered by any higher power. It sounds depressing, but life goes on.

Wonderfully said and written. Profound words with absolute relationship to many broken down souls by love lost forever

thrilling theory for a poem. i became questioning in case you may replace the final line to incorporate yet another connection with the reptile and snake imagery you have happening. "Slithering" in a circle could be sufficient, or you may examine on how the strikes of a reptile or a snake are defined in extra element. extra imagery with that prolonged metaphor could be extra desirable with extra emphasis on the different senses - sound, etc. extremely stable initiate, although.

Yes i do.. when the light are off and i am left alone with myself. When all my pretenses and defenses are down. Its brutally honest .. but also very bare and human. Its a rare poem and that why I love it.

You lack confidence and feel confused. Give yourself time to think things through and understand your emotions. Things will improve when you are ready and able. Accept things and make turn them into positive things for you.
