I'm tired of the way I'm treated, I'm tired of living in fear. I'm tired of the way I'm taunted, by that face in the mirror. The one you supposedly fell in love with, the face that belongs to me, the one that you know without a doubt, will beautiful never be. I'm tired of feeling the way I do, like I'm not good enough to hear, the words you whisper late at night, because of that face inside the mirror. The one my parents seem to hate, my dad gave me away, the one I see constantly, that haunts me every day. I'm tired of everyone assuming, that i like you beacuse of fear, they make fun of you beccause you're short, but what haunts me is that mirror. I wrote this about a friend of mine, so don't get conscerned. I know you're in a better place and though I cannot see your face, I know you're smiling down on me, saying everything's okay. ~R Kelly (I wish) |

Wow really strong emotions came through on this one it helped you explained in the foot note that it wasn't about you and it was about a friend because the emotions are so strong. Zu " The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots" -Thomas jefferson |

I'm glad that you aren't going thru this...cuz it is awful, it is awful to think no one cares about you, it is awful to hate yourself...especially cuz of the way you look. I speak from experience lol. Keep up the awesome work, and keep writing!! Lotsa Love, ~*~SweetStuff~*~ SuMdAy U'll CrY 4 mE bUt I wOn'T cRy 4 U, sUmDaY U'll MiSs Me LiKe I MiSsD U, SuMdAy Ull nEeD mE LiKe I nEeDed U, sUmDaY U'll lUv Me BuT I wOn'T LuV U |

thanks everyone, she's alright. This is actually from a while ago, and she's since then gotten help for everything that's wrong. Banbury, I'm in the process of writing you an e mail. I know you're in a better place and though I cannot see your face, I know you're smiling down on me, saying everything's okay. ~R Kelly (I wish) |

I enjoyed this one.....I don't know....i didn't feel the line about him being short fit within the poem. I liked it though....the poem i mean. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
