MEANINGLESS Crying myself to sleep, sometimes not even knowing why. I am so weak, but act much stronger. I can't hide in this mask forever, don't even know how much longer. A fake smile & laughs, should really be sobs & a frown. What happens when I can't hide anymore, & my wall comes crumbling down? Can I live a normal life, & be who I really am? Can I open up completly, to the one I truly love? Living a life of confusion. Not knowing where it leads. How can I give my life meaning, if I don't know what it already means? Will it ever get better, or will it just get worse? I feel like I'm the only one hurting, the only one who has this curse. I know my life is real, but meaningless, is how I feel!

Masks are what help us move forward and endure in order to face the world. Even the most open person wears one from time to time. Your poem was very lovely and heartfelt. Strange that sorrow is lovely? Well it's not the sorrow in the words that is lovely, it's the pattern they weave. Moonlight, James Good cannot exist without evil. Darkness I embrace. |

Elmo, how long ago did you write that? I distinctly remember Jess showing me that poem via MSN messenger around late July, early August of this year (somewhere in that range), because I remember printing out a copy of it to put in a book that I keep of some of my favorite poets. Let's not let this get to a possession argument on the forum though...one or both of you need to e-mail one of the moderators and discuss this. -Adam "Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice Doggy' while you search for a rock." - Will Rogers |
