Days, months, years,
I've withstanded abuse.
Too many times,
I let my opinion lose.
Every futile effort
I've made to render silence
leaves me further engulfed
and enraged with feelings of violence.
Leave me in my peace
with security through the night.
With every insulting line
is another internal fight.

Once agian Jeremy, a wonderful peace of art. You have a great talent.

This is exactly the way I feel. People then tell you you should open up, talk to them, but it is easier said than done. If you have been living your whole life this way, how can you change in just one day!

Fantabulous poem!

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

This is a great poem. I know what it's like to be tormented like this. As long as you keep your head up, they can never win. If you ever need to talk, feel free to e-mail me!
