I want to be tomorrow.
I want to be tonight.
I want to be the spectacle.
I want to be the light.
I want to be the sorrow,
someone's final sight.

Might I be at some point,
someone's secret wish?
To have an equal share
of the take and of the give.
Can I be important,
first above all else?

I know I am not worthy,
but I do still live.

I want to brush forever,
not touch death afta' bleed.
'Cuz all the pain I have,

is all the pain I need.

I thought my anger and sadness
was greater than anyone else.
And all those nasty tears
ruined my pretty dress.

We all are just screwed up,
"I'm just worse than you."
Inside we all are saying,

"If you only knew..."

~*I'm gonna go ahead and apologize for the previously edited word, which has become a new word. I'm a serious potty mouth, but I usually manage to keep it out of my poetry. In fact, I rarely use 'em in poems. That's why I HAD to leave it(though it's been edited[no hard feelings]): to illustrate the "OOMPH" (for lack of a better word) I was going for.*~

"Cuz all the pain I have
is all the pain I need."
Reminds me of way back then.
When the pain was so intense
I had to put some of it away
for another day...James

'And if I may,
just stash it away
possibly save it for another day
then I just might
savor the light
and sometime soon,
it'll be alright...'

Don't know what it is James,
it's either you or sleep deprivation
that compels me to write and inspires.

YAY, JANET MARIE!
You should know from so many past posts, how happy I am to hear from you. I'm glad to be back AND WITH A VENGENCE!
I got the poetry bug tonight (that is so not a bad thing)

Again, glad to hear from you. Hope you find your way to my other writes.
