I wish I knew where I was...

Falling
Getting up
Falling again
Not for a guy
Just down
Just from lack of balance in life
From all the thoughts spinning
From the memories flowing...

Feeling ready to faint
From these spinning thoughts
Harsh words penetrated my heart and soul
Scaring me, scarring me
Haunting me, tearing me apart
Ripping my heart open
And no matter how hard I try
It will spill, and all will be known

Unless I lock it up
In the back of my mind
And through away the key
Like Pandoras Box
With the warning
Do not open unless you know what you are getting into...



*Me*

*If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything*
*A smile is a curve that straightens out a lot of things*

Wow, this is a great poem! I love it, but I really hope you can release those emotions safely. It can be pretty hard.

I liked this, I've read a poem with this title before, but i think it was well written.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Big deal, Javier. So the title has been used. I'm sure it happens thousands of times with each of the poems we write in here.
In fact, I remember us having two poems called "The Truth" on Teen #4, page one. In fact, they were right next to one another.
*ahem* back to the poem...
Great job! The beginning was interesting...
"falling, not for a guy, but just for lack of balance."
Well said... good wording, all in all an excellent read.

Good job. I like this... thanks for the good read.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

Hey,

It was okay, not one of your best but still good. Keep up the good work
