*this is really long, but i feel i have to let this one out. quick. this is me tell me, do you like it? do you care? now that I'm practically exposing every inch of vulnerability infront of you just so you can see the real me could you give me the time of day? to see that who you thought you knew who you thought you wanted me to be isn't anything like the explicit image you see before you im insecure i couldn't look at myself for more than a minute knowing thats what everyone would be seeing im self conscience i couldnt bare to show my body to anyone ever, in fear that this excuse for health would turn them away im protective i couldnt stand on the sideline watching someone get ripped apart with words that mean nothing im over-opinionated disagree with something i believe in, and you will never hear the end of it. Ever. im insane please, just see past my mask, look in my eyes, and i won't have to do any explaining about this one im alone im so alone im proud proud to say who i am and i wont apoligise for it I don't care i don't care about anything you say not anymore im proud to say i write proud that i can laugh at my mistakes proud that my middle name starts with W and that its a boys name proud that i can cry over a song proud that i can find pleasure out of being by myself and don't need other people to entertain me or make me feel better im proud of me although i never used to be... so this is me do you accept? do you accept me for who i am? or will you turn away mock me pretend you've forgotten me. i hope you do because i don't accept you for who you are or who you pretend to be you are dead to me Mirrors are so cynical. put your frustrations into four letter words - incubus |

smile... I know that smile seems inappropriate, but I'm listening to Natalie Merchant sing "Nightingale" and with your poem it works exquisite.  You write flapcantations. |

This one needed the length silhouetted. Anything less would have been inconsiderate to your feelings on this one. Very good poem! Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere |

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't me they're NOT out to get you. |

"Proud that my middle name starts with W and that its a boys name" Made me smile girl. You rock. I hope you feel a little better knowing that I and others find you the most beautiful person and soooo nice and such a great friend and....well...You might not need someone to make you feel better, but I do and you do that for me, (so do some others...Sez, Soph...). The poem itself was sooo amazing, honesty becomes you. I'm just smiling non-stop now (even though I'm missing Without A Trace) and (Also superman (childhood hero, even if i am a girl) is dead. Chris Reeve rocks!) They never tell that truth is subjective. They only tell you not to lie. They never tell you that there is strength in vulnerability. They only tell you not to cry. Be honest and cry! Thought I'd share that with you. I love you Lor! Hollow. Courtney. I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World. |
