Constantly tugging back and forth Like a rope held by a thin string Just waiting for the time I'll snap I know it will be really soon I listen to them, try to help But then when I have a problem There is no one there to be found Not a friend in sight, not for me But as soon as they need something You know they will come running back Looking for my help as always And I give it to them again I comfort them and calm them down I try to be there for people But when I have a problem, see They always go running from me Can I please everyone always? I honestly think I can't Cause no matter how hard I try The unhappy one's always me [This message has been edited by Angel (edited 11-04-1999).] |

I LOVE THE PHRASE , "LIKE A ROPE HELD BY A THIN STRING" I FEEL THE POEM, CAUSE I AM THE SAME EXACT WAY...PEOPLE ALWAYS COME TO ME FOR EVERYTHING AND SOMETIMES THAT AN GET YOU IN TROUBLE BUT WHEN ITS YOUR TURN YOU FEEL LIKE THE WORLD TURNS THEIR BACK ON YOU...I JUST WENT THRU THE SAME THING...THE ONLY PROMBLEM IS IT SOUND LIKE YOUR TELLING A STORY BUT IN A POEM STYLE...AAA....DID THAT MAKE SENSE??? |

I understand you position and have felt the same way in my life. Being a giver is difficult when you are the one in need. What we need to do is make sure that we let people know we need them. (difficult I know! I still have problems with that myself). We have to understand that people might not be as.....intuative as we are. Chin up, it will get better. |

Yes, you make perfect sense. This was kind of a weird one, ya know, you just write and really don't think about what you're writing. Not too mention, I wasn't in the best of moods when I wrote this. Thanks for the comments  . |

Angel...you expressed how I often feel.....this is wonderful. Hang in there. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

This is something i can definately relate to. Except my problem is more that I always am there for people, but when I have a problem sometimes I feel that I have to always be strong for them. ------------------ Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. |
