Here's a poem i just shot quickly off the top of my head to attempt to describe what it is i feel right now. Hope someone can relate  To myself i lied when i lie awake last night alone in my room watching the night spin idily by knowing that tomorrow held another lonesome day of melencoly apathy To myself i lied when i told mine own that you cared when i said you were a friend who would be there, i lied to myself To myself i lied when i said you you were great thinking you knew it all, but you are nothing not close to great To myself i lied when i called you friend i thought i could rely on you until the end ow it sickens me when I see, i've wasted half my life, on your deceptive illconcieved reality I look at myself today i have to decide and face the gross fact that To myself i lied There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line. -- Oscar Levant "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." |

Hoppy, this is such a sad piece. It's true, there are times that you want happiness so much that you will tell yourself that you have it, even though you really know the truth. If this applies to you, I hope writing this and sharing it with us helped you some. False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference. |

Sorry this is a short reply, but ya know sometimes there are poems where nothing you could say could possibly describe how beautiful they are, and this is one of them. Awesome job.

I thought this poem was well written and i did understand the general point of it all. Good job.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

You know what? I liked this poem. I was imagining you on your bed thinking "To myself i lied", I like when people can do that. |

~Hoppy~ I'm not a teen, but, do I ever relate to this poem. Well expressed! In a sense, this poem is universal, it can apply to both teens and established adults alike. This is the first poem that I have read by you and I am impressed, it is a sad piece of course, but still beautiful in it's own way. I hope that in writing this poem it has helped bring solace to your soul ~Hugs~ and best wishesTake care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |
