~A time of need~

Take my hand,
to show me the way,
in which my happiness,
will soon be paved.

No matter where you go,
I will follow you.
Dont turn me down,
there's nothing else I can do.

Please, dont leave me,
just let me follow you.
I cant take this anymore,
Im so depressed and feeling blue.

Take my hand,
just let me be.
Hopefully soon the pain,
will escape from deep inside me.

Just hold me close,
and show me you care,
so that you can help me,
conquer this neverending fear.


"If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend."

Albert~
Thank you for replying to my poem. It has been so long since I have been able to write. I struggled with this one and I dont even think its that good. I could do alot better I think. But thanks for taking the time out to read it.

Fear~
Im glad that my poem made you smile even though to me its a sad part of my life. Thanks for reading it though.

erin...don't worry about it..rejoice in the fact that you are writing again...you can worry about the quality later...

i think this was a sincere heart-rending read and the font in which this was presented makes this seem like a personal letter to the reader....i don't know whether you deliberately chose the font for such a purpose but i liked it....

Welcome back erin! Nice to see you posting....Well done on the poem. I enjoyed it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Welcome back, Erin!  Oldbie from the days when I was a newbie!  
The thing I like most about this poem is how the stanzas were created.  Imperative to introduce the stanza, and then expansion on it.  
It's this kind of poetry that gives use of stanzas a real definition and meaning.  
Nice work.

Damn was I really gone that long??? I dont think I was...LOL You all make me feel so loved!!! And dont think I liked being gone cause it was HORRIBLE! I couldnt write for anything.

DQ~
I promise not to go anywhere but it will be hard for you to see my poetry cause I cant write at all. It took me a little bit to write this one which is odd.

Dopey~
The one person that was hard not to miss!!! LOL Im glad that you liked it. By the way I got your aol name from one of the topics so if I ever IM you dont be alarmed by a strange name...

Allysa~
I came back before memorial day. I just couldnt remember my password and I couldnt have it sent to me cuz I got a new screen name. LOL I felt really stupid!

Jon~
This is nowhere near being my best!!! LOL I tried so hard to write a good poem too but my brain just isnt working. Things are doing good and I hope to stay out of trouble!!!

Allan~
I must not be too old cuz you are passing me up already...Its ok though I need to so some more work!!! I have another poem like this it was my first one. Take a look at it you might like it. Its definatly alot better then this one. If you do its called "An Unforgettable Friendship".

Thanks for taking the time out to read my poem. It really means alot to me!

You're back?  Cool.  I think i used to talk to you, a long time ago.

Anyways, a little off topic, but i love this "If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend."

I thought you're poem was wrenchingly (NEW WORD!) emotional blah blah, like everyone said.  Glad to see your blazen, all caps nick once again occupying our humble abode.

Thank you all very much for reading my poem. You guys are great..Bunch of friends I can get close to without having to prove that I am good enough to be friends with..Like I dont need a good reason to fit in. No wonder I missed this place so much...

Erin,
I loved this piece.  I haven't been here in a while and I felt like I needed to drop by even though I dont have anything new.  I loved this poem and can only hope that I read more just like it.
