IF YOU SCREAM
by Joy

If you scream
I will shout
If you leave
Then I'll storm out
If you cry
I'll comfort you
But if you die
I won't die too

I choose to live
I choose to be not
Exactly like you
It's about time
I stop living
Through someone elses eyes

If I scream
Will you shout?
If I leave
Will you storm out?
Do you have my ability
To take someone elses dreams
And make them your own?
If I die
Will you die too?
No,
No,
I didn't think so

~This sounds like a song in my head. Just imagine it to the tune of Kumbia(spelling?) my Lord with a lil twist~

Yes yes!! It fits to Kumbaya My Lord well done!!

It is sad when they don't feel it to the depth you do, when the light isn't on for them. I know how it feels and it sux!! LOL

Find one that does hon... *big hugs*

This is so true..and well thought out. It is so easy to try and live how someone else would want you to.. I'm glad you see the futility in it.. sad as it is.

An interesting tune to use for this poem, lol. I enjoyed it. The last four lines are pretty devastating, and drive home the essence of the problem. You are right. You should stop trying to live through someone else's eyes.
