Self

You don't control me
For I manipulate you.

You can't understand me
Because I couldn't know you.

You desire love
Yet won't even love me.

You achieve nothing
If I have no determination.

You runaway
In hope I don't get hurt.

You seek protection
But allow no one to find me.

You have many things in mind to say
Which I can't seem to express in speech.

You are nothing without me
As I am nothing without you.

You are me
And I am you.

The conflicts within myself.

    Very Well Written

    This taped a subject that is really interesting conflicts within conflicts. You illustrated this very well in your poem, Simplistic layout that gives the reader the opportunity to understand the nature of your poem. Excellent Job with this one.
