Our Differences

I warmly welcome everyone to this blog of Some Fries and Some Poetry. Another month comes to an end and another month is to begin. I hope life gets better for you in the upcoming month and even if it doesn't then believe me, it does get better sooner than you might think.

Okay, so let's talk about today's poem. 'Our Differences' is basically a sort of conversation between two people, one of them knows the secrets of the other and that makes them hate the other one. I don't really know how to put into words what this poem actually means because it came to me so out of the blue. But, maybe you can read it and form your opinions on it rather than me rubbing my explanation of the poems on your faces, lol I know I do this all the time.

Okay, So go ahead and read it. Let me know your opinions of it.

Our Differences

The difference between me and you is that,
I am your broken puppet
while you always pretend to be broken.
My words hang around the clouds of your
thoughts like shadows.
Your words hang around my neck like
swords ready to strike.
You are right where I left you
while I ran and got lost in the hue.
I fill your wounds with my silences,
while you dance around everyone's wounds.
I still wish you love but
you wish death upon everyone you said you ever loved.
I can leave you hanging like a strand from my
old t-shirt,
while you can never leave your used t-shirts.
I put bandages on the shattered windows
while you use broken dolls as your puppets.
The difference between you and me is that,
I can heal my broken wings
while you sit there pretending to be
afraid of the invisible storm.
