My own world

Look into my eyes
and tell me I'm not failing,
assure me that I'm wrong,
that I haven't become prevailing.

Whisper in my ear softly,
and let me know I'm special,
give me the comfort of knowing,
that my love is ambrosial.

Hold my hand tightly
and walk me through this maze,
my tears have clouded my heart,
and left me in such a haze.

I need you to assure me of these,
cause no matter what I do,
I find myself in a river or helplessness,
it's rapids disguising what is true.

I've tried so hard to keep my life in line,
to be me no matter what life threw,
but it hasn't gotten me anywhere,
what a mess I've gotten into.

What have I become to this world now?
Am I just that person that you ignore?
I'm starting to realize that in this world
being me just isn't good enough anymore...

Though I can't profess to know enough about you to answer that question, I can say this: If I know nothing else, you've become a talented poet.  This is another extremely emotional poem from you.  I'm glad to see so much good work here upon my return.  And as for being you not being enough.  If it ever seems that you're not good enough for someone - and they treat you as such - then it's really they who are not good enough for you.  Just something to keep in mind.  Glad to have had the chance to read this one!

and shuddered at what I found there;
as my skin shrunk away from conclusion
that you lacked the strength to

Says who! This person that ignores you? This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

"No guy is worth your tears and when you find one that is, he won't make you cry."

Thank you for sharing...sometimes it's just good to write and just spill all your feelings.  It helps to just take away some stress (to me anyways )
