Walking this lonely path of defeat standing tall in my darkest hour ignoring glass shards gutting my feet futily chasing hope's fading power I chose to take this path alone to help any that I think I can It's the only path I've ever known and now I finally make my last stand I've always been that one guy the one they cling to in the rain when the sun sets in their sky drowning their souls in pain I've always been there helping them find security Leading to a place where they can seek for purity They always need me forever I'm the helping hand then they always leave me once they remember how to stand I don't want to be needed loved is all I want to be I want to come home to be greeted by one who loves me for me I'd love to be your everything I'd surely make you mine I think there's no better thing than love of tht kind Not for one to need me but want me all the same to be able to call it as I see it and not get caught up in the game I can't be the bandaid; can't live that life anymore It's slowly making me fade and it kills me at the core So please don't love me if it's not a love sincere I've been through that you see and it's killed all I hold dear So let me be your everything I know I'll make you mine and I would give up anything to find a love that fine But if I give you everything, please give the same of you because if you remeber anything know that I'm fragile inside too. ******************************************* I'm sure this isn't my best work, and I'm not even sure if I want to keep it.Actually, I'm rather sure that it sucks, but it's what came out, and for better or worse, I'll share it. "I'm burning in the heavens, |

First off, this does not suck! None of your poems have EVER sucked! I think your an amazing poet and this goes to show it. This write was amazing...I loved these parts the best.... "So let me be your everything I know I'll make you mine and I would give up anything to find a love that fine But if I give you everything, please give the same of you because if you remeber anything know that I'm fragile inside too." ....especailly the last two lines. I'm going to put this into my library too! ~Alli~ Happy Holidays! |

Well, this got more attention then I thought it deserved! Not that I'm complaining! It's nice to know that my work reached someone. Erin - Yeah, sure, go ahead and keep those lines for your very own! And I guess that the reason I think it wasn't my best, is that I had to struggle with it so much. It didn't just flow like those poems I consider my best. I actually had to work for this one. Though I suppose that in itself dosen't make it bad, huh? Alli - So nothing I write sucks? Wow.. I wish I had that kind of confidence in my work. I'm glad you like this one so much as to add it to your library! And congrats on the mod status! I can think of few here better suited than you. "I'm burning in the heavens, |

I think plenty of people could relate to this one...it's a very human thing to take when the need is there and then vanish as the need disappears. Helping others could never be a bad thing, just have to accept the fact that when they take the help they aren't signing a contract to appreciate or repay it. I guess when the person stays for longer than the help time, they are a true friend or more as the case may be. Anyway excuse my ramblings...neat poem.

I have come across few poems that hit closer to home than this. It reminds me of a dear friend who has walked the same path. In fact, I may send him the link, so he knows that he isn't the only one, and that there is hope for change. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful piece with us. Savage |

You don't like this one hmm?? well I suppose that figures, it always seems that the ones we think need the most improvement, to others, need the least! I have read quite a few of yours myself and I have to say that this may be up there in the favorites list, very honest and open...and inspiring! I think I'll go now to write my own!! ~Live and Laugh~ Don't look to me for perfection for I will surely let you down. |
