Who am I nobody knows I hide inside so none of me shows. A non de plume, a mask and a line While I am hurting all of the time. An angry person no not me I wear a smile, show great charity Makes others sigh, and moan with delight While I am walking this endless night When strangers get close I push them away I've had lot's of practice I do it each day I make them laugh, I pull their strings While having no power o'er my fragile wings. On winds of emotion, I make others soar Show them a new-world, a half-opened door They think that I'm clever, I'm just a fool When I am alone, I scream and I drool. Chasing the night, seeking the day Finding my happiness in others' play. Yet I'm no different and in the end I need no lover, but I need good friends "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

who am I? were no different from me to you we all need love if just a hug would tug on our heartstrings with just the slightest pull. beautiful poem here,sometimes it's seems as if there are ten million people who pass you by without a whisper of hello. |

Wow great poem! I too fade into the background of life & let others see only the "happy me" It's too easy to get sucked into this way of life & it's tough to get out of! I still cannot open up completely to anyone & it sux soo bad! All everyone sees is the fake me or whoever I wish to be that day. I'm sick of pretending! I went on to college & lost many of my good friends. I feel my past slipping away. It's really hard! Again loved your poem  LOVE ELMO |

Sandra- thank you for your kind words I would dearly love to be friends with you. I need all the help I can get. Rosebud1229- Yep I can relate, but aaah what magic when someone does whisper hello and makes you feel wanted. qtiepieelmo- I know how you feel it's hard to open up and begin to trust. I'm learning to do it one strand at a time. Friends at passions are helping but I'm a slow learner. *smiles* Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Thanks boji stone. I could propably live the rest of my life without lovers, but friendless in to the dark, I don't think so. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Chasing the night, seeking the day Finding my happiness in others' play. Yet I'm no different and in the end I need no lover, but I need good friends honest and wonderfully written.

I like that you show a very human side here. I mean, an element of weakness...no, that's not right either!!! Hmmm...HONESTY! That's what I was trying to find. Geesh! I guess I'm just not used to seeing that. Great ideas flowing through this poem. You pull at the mindstrings with your openness. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |
