Reckoned

Confab With Me

It took time for me to reckon that in the process of gaining your attention I was losing my pride.

  1. Love is such a magic thing. It can make you do anything. I guess everyone is different. But personally, I’d rather lose my pride than lose my loved ones.

  2. This can be read both way..when you sacrifice your pride for the love of your life or when you sacrifice your self respect to please someone.Thats’ the beauty of this poem.

  3. That’s my point of view too.I read your comments from readers and that gave me another perspective.
    It’s so endearing sometimes how people find love in such dire conditions too.

  4. This is very cleverly written. I read it twice before I caught on that the narrator is playing a fool in order to catch someone’s attention. Well done! -Jill
