Is It Okay To Be Angry?

I remember when I asked you questions,
You answered to all, I wondered your intent,
Was the newly learned lessons
For yours or for my benefit, or a descent
Of knowledge we can use to our own?
I am grateful for the helpful hand you’ve shown!

When I left myself to ponder upon this,
I felt accepting of the three,
As the first one shows your brilliance
The second shows your kindness to me…
And the third is us there needed to be.

İt was fine keeping love in my own head,
I would never live it out with you instead,
You had flaws and it would be a waste,
Like the answered questions it wouldn’t taste.

Is it unjust to hate you because you are disgraceful,
Unlike the smart, respectful kid I knew,
I am ashamed I had an image so spaceful.
Even if you flamed for me too
I ought not to know,
I examine you from afar,
Have you changed or lost your glow?
İ feel disgust for you like who you are,
A shell of the glowing star,
And im ashamed and disappointed,
With who you really are…

So basically when I was in 8th grade do to the Turkish education system we had a highschool entrance exam. And this kid in once of my classes was really smart like top of the school smart. I asked him questions I couldn’t solve. And I kinda ended up having a crush on him. And anyways after the exam we ended up in same school cuz I studied a lot. Anyways we ended up in the same class. Turns out he is a horrible person. And I’m angry at him because he isn’t like the image I knew him as. And I’m ashamed I once liked him

Oh I really like this poem. It has a nice flow to it and the idea of liking/wanting to know someone only for them to end up being a bad person is an interesting topic. I can relate on that regard and it's really unfortunate to discover that someone you liked and cared for is not a good person. I like the complexity of this poem! I especially like the last stanza. I like how it switches and feels more intense than the previous standard did. Nice job:)

I think the AA rhymes scattered throughout this poem are a bit singsong. I would recommend looking up different rhyming schemes, because rhyming schemes can definitely give the poem a good flow. Even ABAB is good.

Like the answered questions it wouldn't taste.
I can understand that this line was probably written this way to keep the rhyme, but I find it a bit nonsensical.
I examine you from a from afar
I think this was a typo? You can remove "a from".
Besides that I think this is a nice poem!

Your poem dances between introspection and confrontation. That reflective first stanza? Gorgeous. You’re not just mad—you’re thinking through the why. That’s emotional maturity. That’s the poet’s superpower.

#

The line:

"İt was fine keeping love in my own head,
I would never live it out with you instead,"
😭 GUT-WRENCHING. That feels like when you know the fantasy is better than reality—and you accept it, with grace and grief.

#

But even as it stands—this poem is powerful, painful, and real.
You didn’t just write about being angry.
You wrote about why.
And that’s what makes this piece matter.

Bro thank you! You honestly flatter me too much. 💗💗💗

Honestly ever since I started writing poetry I understood what my feelings were and why I felt them. It feels almost empowering to know the reason behind it all. Not saying I’m really good at imagery but I when I feel I think of images maybe edits of real life even and describing them as best as I can (with extra stuff for rhymes) just helps. I don’t know why it does this. As the understanding of these feelings are within me but they reveal when I write. And I honestly don’t know why that is!

I really enjoyed this poem! It's written very well and executes the idea and complexities of learning someone isn't who you thought they were. I really enjoyed the second stanza specifically the lines 8 to 11! Nice poem as always!:)
