tears falling to the floor
the stains on the wood
will remain
to remind you
of every little mistake i've made
big enough
or small enough
to make me cry
does that make me weak?
pathetic in your eyes?
as im contorted in the corner
a picture of pain on my face
does it tell a thousand words?
or just the ones
you want to hear?
basking in my self pity
trying to wipe the tears away
to look strong to you
to forget the reasons why i'm even here
I'll be alright
Won't I?
maybe, when the light's are turned back on
I'll have dried my eyes
and I can look normal for you
so you won't
or can't be embarrassed of me
but then you will find the tear stained floor
and all my efforts
will be thrown back to the ground
as i watch you scowl in resentment
and i feel the tears coming back
but still all i am to you is weak
and pathetic

you're the only one keeping me alive

I don't know what to make of this.
It's easy to type in a whole lot of lyrics that are related to the feelings you pen. And that is what I've been doing, but those are not my words, and that is not what I want to say. That isn't feedback, that's a more interesting way to say "I feel exactly the same." My friend, maybe we need to polish that floor, so the tears slide right off it. Or maybe you should wait so when that room is flooded and there's no more space to cry, you'll just stop. Grrr, hugs all around, completely loved it, ohmigod it was so well written, heart was aching. No more to be said.

but then you will find the tear stained floor
and all my efforts


I especially like this---the tear stained floor exposes the efforts to hide...

"basking in my self pity

I ask why, but in my mind,
I find i cant really rely on myself.

Pride is holding your head up, when everyone else has their's lowered. Courage is what makes you do it.

Thank you all for replying! this one wasn't really one of my most emotionally attached poems, you might say lol. I just wrote it. did you understand that? or am i just being... me. oh well, im glad you liked it.

I hope it's just because it's the holidays that you've stopped posting. I hope you have alot of poems to share with us up your sleeve. I miss seeing your name on the board. Writing helps you understand your feelings, I heard that on TV.
Anyway! Write!
Mwah!

I wish...I wish I could relate to this. It's wierd. I should write something about the tears that fail me, I dunno. nonetheless this was great stuff. heart choking.
