Funny, how the way it seems...
"I'm beautiful"--"the stuff of dreams"
and yet I'm lonely anyway--
they talk--and then they run away...

Funny, oh yes, it's a scream--
I'm nuts upon the whipped cream...
then answer me, and hear my say,
why am I alone each day?

Funny girl, oh funny me,
I laugh as I bleed prayer on knees--
tell me what is wrong with me?
Why do they laugh? Why do I bleed?
(There is something wrong with me...)
The choices I make reject me.

I’m not funny,
I’m not sunny or laughter,
People think of me
And a frown follows after,

The choices I make reject me.


A line I know by harsh lessons.

Enjoyed this very much.

Are we a collection of 'Funny' ones? I enjoyed this, as I've been rejected often enough that I thought maybe I had a monoploy on this market. OOPS, giving away my secrets again.

You are just too much woman for them
just too much intensity for lesser men
They laugh in effort to hide their fear...
for they know they cant keep up with you my dear

You are not the nuts...youre the cherry on top

Can almost see you...laughing with one eye, crying from the other.  That was an interesting image!  Something tells me you've rejected a few of your own.  You write depression very well.  Hey, that's something.

What Balladeer said in spades!
~*~
wait until chosen
quickly your life becomes fine
toast the two lovers

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
