I hope in such a
reverse reality. . .
you are too.

Love is Evol

Love (down)

I love you
And you will never hear me say
That I don't
I know
We are meant to be
I can't believe that you think
You're not beautiful
I'm sorry but
You are mine
You can never say that
I'm lying

Evol (up)

Reverse poems are great my doods

split second (reverse poem)

I saw you
Through the screen
On that second
Why did I think
It was meant to be

Reverse poem

My fear became real
My love for you gone
My eyes dry
You disappear
In my mind
I hold you tight but
The feeling I feel
Deep inside me
No one should know
My biggest fear
As a secret
I keep it
My dear
I don’t want to lose you

Now read it from the bottom up.

I tried, let me know what you think x

~ I hate myself ~

I hate myself

so please dont try to convince me

I'm worth it

Because no matter what

I'm my worst enemy

And I'd never lie to myself by saying

I shouldnt have self hatred

So I promise you that I will always remember

That I'm the epitome of my mistakes

And nothing you say will make me think

I still deserve a happy life

Because no matter what

I'm not good enough for people

And I will never believe that

I'm good enough for anyone

Because whenever I look at my reflection I think

Have I ever deserved a happy life?

Read top to bottom then bottom to top

A Reverse Poem

I am ugly
And no one can convince me that
I am beautiful
At the end of the day
I hate myself in every way
I'm not going to lie to myself by saying
I am good enough
I am worthless
Don't try to convince me that
There is beauty inside of me
Because no matter what
I am not good enough to be loved
Don't tell me that
I am perfect
When I look in the mirror I know
I am ugly
And nothing you say will make me believe
I am beautiful

~j.l.

Now read from bottom to top

Sarcasm

An alternate universe
I created in my mind
to see reality in reverse.

Where stupid tyranny
is just a laughing matter
and serious chatter
only carefree pink irony.

Oh, what would I do
without this corrosive
intoxicating glue.

I Am Cold (reverse poem)

I am cold.
But everyone says
You just need to get past my walls,
I am a warm person deep down.
They see what they want to but
I am cold as ice inside.
People will tell you
I have a sensitive side but
Hardly anyone sees.
What I truly am inside,
A heartless monster.
Still, my peers think they know
I am really a big softy.

Now read it bottom to top.

I tried to write this a while ago but ended up just going off on a rant instead so here is my newer version of that poem.

Handles of Time

handles of time click
permanently forward without an
eraser or a reverse

Lately, I've been thinking about the embarrassing, pathetic things I did when I was younger. The saddest thing about the difference between the past, present,and future is that there is one that you cannot change the events. We all know which one I'm talking about, unfortunately. :(
