the unknown realm of insanity

0 posted 2002-10-30 05:34 PM



I stand here crying,
Trying to understand.
Why I’m alone,
Why I’m not having fun with all of you.
I want to scream,
But that might draw attention to myself.
I want to hurt myself,
But the most I’m going to do is get a paper cut.
I want to kill,
Something that doesn’t matter.
But of course,
I can’t and I wouldn’t.
Pain is only what you make of it,
They keep telling me.
If it’s only what we make of it,
Then how come when you calm it still hurts SO bad.
When I cry,
I try to hold the tears back.
Even though that won’t last.
All the memories,
Bring tears to my eyes.
I try to hide what I feel,
So you won’t feel sorry for me.
But I can’t help but cry,
And  mumble the words
“Life sucks, Happiness is vastly over rated!”
You ask me what’s wrong,
And I tell you that nothing is going right.
You try to make me feel better,
But nothing helps.
I cry until I actually start to feel okay.
But that’s when I realize,
I have to be all alone tonight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry guys I know that it sucks..but it's just how I feel at the moment...
I'll put a GOOD poem up soon...don't worry...
I know it sucks...So If your all like "this isn't the greatest poem!" i'll be posting a better one today or tomorrow since im going to be alone and i'll have ALOT of time on my hands!

This poem was very emotional. It screams with frustration, anger and pain, something you did very well putting to words. Being the first poem I recall reading from you, I dont know if this poem doesn't compare to your other works. So don't think that this poem isnt as 'good' as your others. Because it is a 'good' poem. Loved this bit:

I hope everything is ok, if not.. email me if you want to talk.

This is a good poem indeed, It is very emotional. And sometimes thats all you need is emotion and truth to guide you. You write on your sleeve, what your feeling you put down and thats very good. And it also turns into some beutiful poems.

Muy Bueno Polita,

See how everyone reassures you when you note that your poem is no good?  I should start doing that, I'd get a way better response that way...

I like this though, Pollita.  It's good to sometimes just drip your emotions out, with zero regard for quality.  I do that to, but I never post it myself... hee...

Anyhow, nice writing.
