Perceptual Sense
Cold, Bitter chill,
Loved, But lonely still.
Smiling, On the outside but,
Inside, Shattered, torn apart,
Damaged, Though hard as steel,
Moving, Yet standing still,
Yearning, For all that's nice,
Loving, yet cold as ice,
Working, For all that's good,
Knowing, But misunderstood,
Calm, While life falls apart,
Hopeful, Of a second chance,
Feelings, Reduced to tears,
Struggle, For so many years,
Winning, I wish I could,
If only, To be understood.
Loved, But lonely still.
Smiling, On the outside but,
Inside, Shattered, torn apart,
Damaged, Though hard as steel,
Moving, Yet standing still,
Yearning, For all that's nice,
Loving, yet cold as ice,
Working, For all that's good,
Knowing, But misunderstood,
Calm, While life falls apart,
Hopeful, Of a second chance,
Feelings, Reduced to tears,
Struggle, For so many years,
Winning, I wish I could,
If only, To be understood.

Very clever and observational yet could still be very personal. One of those poems which i think most people can relate to in several ways. Man or woman matters not. :-)
