...a little help with a title please?..and how do i use my signature?
-----------------

the glare of the mirror shines in your eyes
you can see the world through one tiny hole in the sky
amongst the dirt and amongst the hurt
you notice one little light that is shinging so bright

to cling to that savior which is your hope
is taking a chance and learning to cope
i wish i could eat my own cancerous tumor
and forget about all the detrimental rumors

i take one last glimpse of the world
but everywhere i look i've lost my pearl
the decay of all my own optimism
i see now that i am locked in a prism

there is only one last thing to do
to jump and pray that you won't live to your dismay
it seems desperate and it seems repulsive
but now it just seems that you'll have to accept it

The signature? There's a box below the reply or post box that says show signature -- click it. About your poem I can relate. How about "Optimism forgotten" for a title?

 "The worst of what people do to one another is deceive.
Because when you love someone you control their version
of reality. If you lie to them that's like making them
autistic so that what they believe is reality is in fact,
not their true situation at all."

It's not the angry words that break the heart, it's the silence.

Someone said that true love is like a ghost -- often spoke of but never seen.
I've seen both and yet in my darkest hours, tend to believe that neither exits.

WOW!!! Again, your way with words just astounds me.  It just makes me feel like I don't belong in the same forum as you.

"amongst the dirt and amongst the hurt
you notice one little light that is shinging so bright"

You show strong feelings/emotions in your poems. keep writing as I go down the list of your poems.

This one is easier for me to grasp... maybe I'm just tired today!!
But I understand that hopeless, aching feeling.
I'm sorry you're feeling like this.
I like... "Optimism Forgotten"
