Tis all an illusion with me,
A front painted on,
A cloak of confidence I wear,
For all normalacy has gone.

I'm not so strong,
Not so pure,
Not so lovable,
My life is a sewer.

I believe in my vows,
Promises of how I want to be,
But sometimes it's so hard,
When no one understands me.

I send out love and caring,
A hundred times a day,
But so little returns to me,
Seems I'm meant to pay.

I have to admit it,
I too need words of love,
I too need valued friendships,
Just like we need the sun above.

I guess I just don't cut it,
People see a fake,
They must in fact see a clown,
What difference could I make?

 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

JUST THOUGHT I BETTER ADD, I AM NOT REFERRING TO PASSIONS IN THIS POEM, ONLY MY LIFE IN GENERAL.   I KNOW I'M LIKED AND RESPECTED HERE.     WITHOUT PASSIONS THEN I'D REALLY BE IN A PICKLE!!!!!!

Sit back Isis and read all your words in this forum....
then read the responses...
You make a large difference...don't you ?
This was a great poem...about the forlorn side of life

 Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

I wasn't talking about the forums, I was talking generally Jenny.   You know, like do you really make a difference in the world???  That sort of thing.  I know I'm liked around here, if I didn't have this, what would I have????

I know how you feel.  I posted a poem on a similar subject a little while ago.  
... about how you don't get appreciated for all that you do.  It's hard when you put yourself out there only to get stomped over and not recognized.

Isis my dear friend,
We all make a difference in this life
Sometimes in the smallest of ways. . .
Even though you may not know it
There are people who you have impressed and inspiried. . .
So, even though you may not have seen the results, know that everything that you do makes a difference to someone, somewhere. . .
This is the power that is in all of us, we all make a difference, one person at a time.



 That which gives light must endure burning

Tis a great poem you have written here dear, and I must say that others outside of here love and cherish thee, surely there are many.

 If all who are born are ment to die, I should not have been born, for I will never die.

Why thank ye both brave knights, this fair maiden is blushing daintily  
Really what lovely things you both said
