Read Poem: Reality, by Elizabeth Bergman

The genre of this poem is painful romance, being unable to know whether they are in love or not.

Reality
Jesus I need an answer
God, please speak to me
Please
I’m begging you

I’m terrified
I don’t know how I feel
I don’t know what I feel
What is love
What is hate
When no one tells me
What it’s like
I’m truly afraid
To say I don’t love
That I can’t
But do I
Is it attention
Or more
Is it popularity
Or more

So for now
I say I hate you
I say I always did
I say I never cared
If you cared about me
I say that I don’t want
To keep looking at you
I say that my love
Belongs to someone else
I say that I only want
To be friends

If half of what I say
Is true
And the other
Unknown
Then am I in love?
And will I ever
Have an answer
Because from what I see
It doesn’t feel like it
I’m desperate
