Walking this lonely path of defeat
standing tall in my darkest hour
ignoring glass shards gutting my feet
futily chasing hope's fading power

I chose to take this path alone
to help any that I think I can
It's the only path I've ever known
and now I finally make my last stand

I've always been that one guy
the one they cling to in the rain
when the sun sets in their sky
drowning their souls in pain

I've always been there
helping them find security
Leading to a place where
they can seek for purity

They always need me
forever I'm the helping hand
then they always leave me
once they remember how to stand

I don't want to be needed
loved is all I want to be
I want to come home to be greeted
by one who loves me for me

I'd love to be your everything
I'd surely make you mine
I think there's no better thing
than love of tht kind

Not for one to need me
but want me all the same
to be able to call it as I see it
and not get caught up in the game

I can't be the bandaid;
can't live that life anymore
It's slowly making me fade
and it kills me at the core

So please don't love me
if it's not a love sincere
I've been through that you see
and it's killed all I hold dear

So let me be your everything
I know I'll make you mine
and I would give up anything
to find a love that fine

But if I give you everything,
please give the same of you
because if you remeber anything
know that I'm fragile inside too.

*******************************************
I'm sure this isn't my best work, and I'm not even sure if I want to keep it.Actually, I'm rather sure that it sucks, but it's what came out, and for better or worse, I'll share it.

"I'm burning in the heavens,
and I'm drowning in a hell.
And my soul is in a coma
and none of my friends can tell,"

Are you serious? I absolutly loved it! If this isn't very good in your opinion then I'm going to have to look at ur other ones more closely! lol Sorry, I just, wow I loved this, and I could relate sooo well, especially right now!

They always need me
forever I'm the helping hand
then they always leave me
once they remember how to stand

That was my favorite part. I loved it, hope you don't mind if I keep it? amazing job

First off, this does not suck! None of your poems have EVER sucked! I think your an amazing poet and this goes to show it.
This write was amazing...I loved these parts the best....

Well, this got more attention then I thought it deserved!  Not that I'm complaining!  It's nice to know that my work reached someone.

Erin - Yeah, sure, go ahead and keep those lines for your very own!  And I guess that the reason I think it wasn't my best, is that I had to struggle with it so much.  It didn't just flow like those poems I consider my best.  I actually had to work for this one.  Though I suppose that in itself dosen't make it bad, huh?

Alli - So nothing I write sucks?  Wow.. I wish I had that kind of confidence in my work.  I'm glad you like this one so much as to add it to your library!  And congrats on the mod status!  I can think of few here better suited than you.

Wow... This poem is so awesome. Did I mention wow? This really got to me, I can relate to it so well. The wording and everything else about it was excellent.
This is going in my library.
Beautiful art here. *resisting the urge to bow*

But Im comforted
by the fact that I can hurt inside
all I want to
without anyone ever knowing

I think plenty of people could relate to this one...it's a very human thing to take when the need is there and then vanish as the need disappears. Helping others could never be a bad thing, just have to accept the fact that when they take the help they aren't signing a contract to appreciate or repay it. I guess when the person stays for longer than the help time, they are a true friend or more as the case may be.

Anyway excuse my ramblings...neat poem.

I have come across few poems that hit closer to home than this. It reminds me of a dear friend who has walked the same path. In fact, I may send him the link, so he knows that he isn't the only one, and that there is hope for change. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful piece with us.

We as artists are our own worst critics. I however found this to be a very powerful and emotional write. I loved every bit of it.
keep those words flowing.

You don't like this one hmm?? well I suppose that figures, it always seems that the ones we think need the most improvement, to others, need the least! I have read quite a few of yours myself and I have to say that this may be up there in the favorites list, very honest and open...and inspiring! I think I'll go now to write my own!!
