Standing In Silence...

0 posted 2003-10-10 06:48 AM



I'm living in a shattered wolrd.
Where everything is distorted and confused.
Like broken glass,
It will never be the same.
It shall never be the safe haven it once was.
And it's starting
    To take it's toll on me.
I'm holding a single dying rose
As I take off this smiling mask,
And reveal the hidden tears,
That I've kept so seretely.
The words still echoing through my head,
Back and forth they race between my thoughts.
I've built my fortress all around me,
And now there's no one...
   Left to break me...

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be."~Linkin Park

One that I've tried to write over and over again

Yes. I agree.  This was touching and very real.  It's scary taking down those walls.     Hope all goes well.

Well done..

sometimes little one, the walls are good...but remember...there is a time for the walls to come down also.
Love ya gal...
I don't have a clue why you remind me so much of me at your age ....

Ah...no one left
to break you.

How insightful.  So we build again,
we become stronger, taller,
straighter, leaner, even...nicer...

and with that power
comes wisdom.

You are on the cusp of knowledge.
Your cup is about to overflow...
sip well, and often...

Listen to Sunshine Stac....
in the cup of knowledge that you drink from, her words will blend into the mix along with so many others here so very well....
all you need to do is drink....listen...
learn....and be the beautiful person I know you to be....
