Running down the street
Trying to be set free
Of all the pain inside
That has become me
But why does it follow
And grasp onto my heals
No one understands me
Or see's the pain I feel
At times a simple hug
Could possibly do the trick
But yet I hit a wall
A wall made of bricks
So here I am today
Feeling as lousy as can be
With all the doubt and pity
Oh why do I have to be me?


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

"No one understands me

We all feel this way at times during our life
but you must not let the pain take over.
very good poem.

Well-said! Sometimes a hug will suffice.... "squeeeze!"

 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate, Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance or nature's changing course, untrimmed. But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare

You are you because only you can know the things that you know. . . only you can learn from the things that happen to you and only you can make your life better. . . sounds strange, but that's why you're you. . .

This is an excellent poem, full of the questions that we all ask ourselves every day. . .

Well done. . .
