Blah..I feel enraged at the moment.  Maybe a poem will help clear up these feelings?  Hopefully?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"You lied to her!"
My conscience screams at me
"Can't you see why?"
I glare it down and beam.

"The smile is fake
Stop it now."

Though it is right..
Always is, somehow.

Why is it so wrong
To play out your fantasies?
Why do they act
Like it's such a horrid disease?

When I'm there
Yes, I forget about reality
But why do they show it
Such brutality?

I am loved and hated
Battled and befriended
The game sweeps me in
And, in daydreams, I am left suspended.

A lover, a dreamer
I guess those describe me
Am I so wretched
To think differently?

They already condone me
For all the "crimes" I've committed
Yes, I look normal outside
But, within, am wild and unsubmitted.

Like an untaimed stallion
My heart and mind run free
Away from their dreary ideals
Just trying to escape the misery.

How can something so good
Be so wrong?
I yearn to learn the answer
And probably will life-long.

The tears in my throat
Push against my vocal cords
They fight and the plead
Seering at me with jagged-edged swords.

"I will not cry!"
"She will not have that satisfaction!"
A life that is so dramatic
Must have this reaction!

If only they knew
All the trouble I face
This dilemma of mine
Should be examined by the base.

First, there is school
Which is mind-wracking enough
The summer has been kind
Thank the Gods for that fluff!

Not to mention social life
Which I am lacking in
At my school I'm an "outcast"
Only fellow shadows are my kin.

It's probably best
That I am not popular
For I know who my true friends are
Without examining them deeper.

How did this lead
To the story of my life?
I've probably bored you already
With all this petty strife.

So, now I'll take my leave
My intentions were just venting
I bid you farewell
And thanks;  just for listening.

"The only thing that boggles the mind is the mind itself."

I liked this one a lot. Welcome to passions!
I really enjoyed this one. It's good to vent out emotions and you did it within this poem. Hope all goes well.

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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

It was a pretty good poem. Change your icon *poke*

You'll say you understand, you'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in, you don't know wh
