I lower my head as they walk on by
Do they not see that I am human too?
For I shed tears and feel as they
Am I odd cause I dont do as they do?
I speak within my heart
With poems that I write
Darkness is my way of life
And yes sometimes it isnt so bright
But should they judge me for this?
For I am human too
I too smell the roses
Why do they make my life so blue?
If they were to pass me on the street
They would never turn around
For I look very average
And I rarely make a sound
But when they read my poems
They judge me so fast
Satan is in her heart, they say
A spell she is about to cast
I write about death and love
It doesnt always mean that I am sad
Those two things make the world spin
So it doesnt make them good or bad
It is a way of life, inwhich we all know
Fighting for happiness is not full of glory
But it tis a battle we ALL fight daily
And we each have our own story!


 I do not love you for being perfect.....
I love you for being perfect for me!!

You are so right, Dark Kisses!  I can relate to this poem, because I experience people judging me all the time too.  I loved the thoughts you expressed here.  Especialy the following lines....

"If they were to pass me on the street
They would never turn around
For I look very average
And I rarely make a sound"

Great work once again.  Thank you for writing this poem.

Joy


 Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying,
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.

-Robert Herrick

Yes I agree. I hate being judged based on my writings. The majority of my writings are dark and people often think me odd.  But at least here we can count on eachother.



 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

This is very well written and so true.  If people would spend less time looking around and judging others and spend more time taking care of their own lives the world would be much better.   James

**HUG** i know these feelings all to well...thats why i decided to post my poems here and see if what they tell me is true.....and guess what.....its not..i don't enjoy being sad, its just a way to release...too bad for them if they don't want to see my poems...then they will never get to see me.

GREAT WORK!

take care,
