pouring-out sentiments

There are times in our lives when we experience conflicting emotions...

This simple eight-liner poem is a semi-finalist in the 2006 International Poetry Contest. A spur of my moment...

Conflicting situations

There are times I miss you
Other times I abhor you
What I feel is so confusing
Taxing my mind and body

Hang on or let go
Forward or backward
In the middle I remain
Won't dare to know

...originality, creativity, imagination, characterization, artistic quality, adherence to line limits, or universal appeal? whatever the judges thought the written words above might have, for me it's just one thing...a releeeassssse....
