The lines of this poem each consist of two separate parts, one conflicting with the other, just as our thoughts often do. It all comes together at the end, however, with the last line.

The only line that isn't "Conflicted".

One day I realized how fast the time flies when you are in love. So, I named the poem "Hourglass."

I am a 14 year old girl from England and I am new to poetry writing. This is my first poem. It is about how someone portrays themselves, but is feeling very different on the inside. Then they realize they are making other people happy by acting this way!
