the wonderful land of oz

So leave me
here
amidst
the other
'do-it-yourself,
save-the-world'
psychological
rejects.
The dill
from a pickle
overdose
burning
my throat.
Getting smaller
everyday
I wonder
how long
it will take you to
realise
that I was never
really ok.


- jen

so foul and fair a day i have not seen.  - macbeth act 1, scene 3

That... I think... is one of my favorite poems ever. I just really relate to it and you wrote it so, so well. I don't even really know what to say besides that I love it.

There are always answers as long as you're open enough to accept the answers you were not looking for.

Hhmmm... it can't be THAT easy for me to understand... but maybe it can... Awesome write, as usual, and I actually GOT this one for once  !

If you define cowardice as running away, tripping and screaming at the first sign of danger, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.

donde está mi amour?

Oh wow, this was just wonderful. One of the best poems I've read in a long long time. I am truly amazed at this one.  

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

This is really great. Someone already stole my Fave. Lines.

I loved that part, it's so true.
Nice one.

quietlydying,

I'd like to hope we are all ok. But I know sometimes in joking around with my friends, I wonder if we are all ok. But seriously, I hope things get better for you.
