Standing In Silence...

0 posted 2004-12-23 09:00 PM


Wow, this one is a big rant about several people in my life that have either make me sad...or make slightly...well.."irritated" to put it mildly...lol, but yeah..so if it gets confusing, sorry..lol. Bye~


I’m drowning,
Trying to choke down this anger,
Trying, yet again, to hide these tears.

I’m just trying to live,
When I’m really dying inside,
Because my soul is torn apart,
And my heart is slowly bleeding…

I’m falling down….down…down..
My mind is stuck –
In a never-ending cyclone of –
Confusion, Love, Lust, and Heart-breaking pain.

Every thought of you,
Brings another thousand tears,
Because I know we should be together,
Yet…we are not…not by choice though..

Oh no,
Once this is all over,
I will never leave you side,
It’s too painful.

The days keep passing by,
Never slower, never quicker,
And though I should be happy for the holidays,
All I feel is pain….dark, black, smothering loneliness…

It consumes me,
It brings back things I’ve tried so hard to forget,
I can’t get through this pressure….
And it makes me angry….like someone else I know…

“Tisk...Tisk…such a temper,
You better watch your mouth,
Don’t give me any attitude!
If you know what’s good for you...”

Oh, and you know?
Please, fill me in,
I’d really love to hear this.
You don’t know the first thing,
About raising a child!!

And you!
How DARE you accuse ME
Of something YOU would do!
I’m not like you…
I do not give into every temptation,
Or every male member of the human race!
I have a thing called self-control.
So you can STOP trying
To plant you evil thoughts
In everyone else’s minds.
Putting your child in the
Kinds of situations you do,
Teaching you child of hate and violence,
Before he can even walk!
