Feelings

How I feel
Is not important to people
They do not care
What I wear
or what I say
or the way I pay
No one cares about hurting me
They walk on, stomp on, little old me
Talking about things that aren’t true
Is starting to make me all blue
Feelings get hurt
but look who cares
I care, I care
not that its important
because it still wont ever end
Until I end up dead
cant get it under control
forgetting to do things
my mind takes a toll
Going crazy is where I be
but who cares about little old me?
"Let her go crazy", they all say
Just let her go, on her way
Coming to people asking for help
The treat me like I’m kelp (don’t ask..)
Gone with the years
has my mind gone
still going crazy as
time goes on
Unable to help myself
because I start to not care
No big loss, the games all fair
Keeping these feelings all up
inside of me
but going crazy is where
I should be
Things in my life
just aren’t going right
Looking around you
may see
me all happy and at peace
Looking inside, its not a
pretty picture
Its one big mess
not even cuter
Looks like its all crashing
down before my eyes
My whole world is ending
Where the family ties
I cant handle all this stress
Its turning me into one big mess
But going crazy I where
I should be
So much to do
So little time
Running out of space
in my little mind
Thoughts keep coming back
ones I wish they’d just disappear
I wish I could put them
in a sack
and through them out the door
One less thing for me to worry about
makes me want to stand and shout
What to do
What to be
I’m not sure in my life anymore
Ending it, going on
Its all mixed up inside
Running thoughts through my head
Cant keep track of
where I've been
All I want to do
is to be happy in this world
through and through
"Is that too much to ask?"
I say
Maybe in this time of day
Everyone’s happy but me
drifting farther and
farther I may be
I just wish someone
would see
And give me a little
hand to help me to peace
This is a hard time
in my life
but going crazy is
where I should be
Why does all this have to happen
to make others lives dampen
Depressing as it may be
Its time for people to see
That not everyone in this
world today
Is what everyone thinks
he/she may be
On the outside no signs
you see
On the inside they are depressing like me
Oh how I wish my life
would end
Then I would be this
miserable person that
people don't see in me
Miserable as my life may be
Crazy is where I ought to be
Locked up and throw
away the key
keep me away from
all these things
That have made me
this way
Seems to be in others dismay
Not for them to believe
makes me want to cry
Cry, cry my life away
"Stop crying" is all they can say
Easier said than done
you see
This never happened to you
as it did me
Scarred for life I am
nothing can help ease
this pain
For not many believe me
when they hear
who and what
took something from me that
I cant get back
Not now, not ever
nothing can take back
that day
Recovering ain’t easy
from all that pain
Saying NO! and meaning it
doing something he'll regret
Please someone take away
this pain
That was caused all
from that day
but who cares about little old me
Going crazy is where
I should be
Bottling up all this pain
makes me want to scream in vain
doing things that just
isn’t me
but going crazy is where I should be
That is all I have to say
because I cant go and change that day
I feel a little bit better that I got that out
I think that I’m going to go sit and pout
But as I have said
Going Crazy is where I am,
and going crazy is where I shall be.....

Going crazy you may be but babe you're in good company... loved the read like you love to write.  I hope that venting this helps and if not...well give me a call huh?

Knowlege tempered by wisdom...Wisdom tamed by youth.

As I read this I thought of a program I watched last night where a 14 year old boy took his mother's gun and went to school and held a classroom hostage...as an explanation he said that he had no one to go to and no one to listen to him...
Apparantly it was it attempt to cry out for help...definately the wrong way to reach out for help or understanding..
I think writing out feelings out as you have is the right way to express our frustrations...we all experience stressful situations and life does go on...and of course nothing is more valuable then a friend that will just listen...take care...James

Through that time in your life, I know for sure, there was at least one person who never would say any of those things to you.  The honest pain I read brings me to weep.  I hope you never reach that point of despair ever again in your life.

With my pen I shall create,
With my mind I shall explore,
With my strength I shall endure,
With my poetry I shall have legacy.

Did you know that KELP is one of the BEST fertilizers to help things grow naturally beautiful? Think about it.
