My dreams are laying
scatterd on the floor.
What once lived inside of me,
don't live there anymore.
I have come to know reality
through a whole lot of dissipointments.
Now, I don't know where I am,
I have lost all my commitments
Why? Why all of this bitterness and pain?
Why can't I be the person I was once again?
I have always tried to be there,
with a listening ear,
a shouldor to cry on,
and a true haert that would never dissapear.
Where are you, now that I need you?
My problems aren't big or important, I know,
but even I need someone to talk to.
I'm tierd of being strong, when I'm not.
I'm only human,
it seems it is something they forgot.
I can bite on my lips,
and so fight the tears.
And behind my smile
I can hide all my fears.
I can say I'm alright
untill my face turns blue,
in the end, I'm lieing,
to myself and to you.
Where are you, now that I need you?

Your actions based on popularity,
Will never fulfill you internally,

I really liked your poem. All I can say is that if the person you need to talk to isnt there, then he/she isnt really THE person that you would like to talk 2. I mean close friends dont just obandon u, no matter where they are or how far away. My best friend m,oved 2 cali and i live in nyc, but I always know that i can call or email he if anythng.

Thanks you two. Olga, I know you are right about friends, and I am very blessed, cause I have alot of good friends, and they try to be there for me, the thing is just that they don't know when I need em. I blame myself for that. It is my own fault, they don't know when I'm sad or when I'm angry and frustrated, cause I don't show it. I keep my feelings bottled up inside of me. So...i guess it is my fault that I'm feeling the way I am feeling.

Thanks again

It's not your fault that your friends don't know your feeling the way you do, but sometime you need to let them know, you need to let them see you cry and just fall into their arms because they are there for you like you are for them! Don't try to always hind, sometimes it's ok but other times it's not good to keep your feeling bottled up because it scares you and you feel less and less like you can talk to people! And less of yourself. So just let them see you try for once!!!

Misty, as much as I understand what you are saying to me, and as much as I want to, it's easier said than done. I guess I think if I let them know how I feel, I'm feeling sorry for myself and as if a want their simpathy, which I don't. It isn't asif I have big problems, but every person can take only so much...and now i don't like the person I see every day in the mirror. I use to be so positive, nothing could bring me down, these days, I'm only pretending, but I guess I'll have to get over it.
