Perception's Deceit I am not the girl you think me to be the one that is ever strong and up for the task, with orders that are thrust upon my chest that crush at my lungs, taking my breath You may judge me to be an arrogant twit just because I am not an unhinged chatterbox but it's not what I am, for I'm scared to be that because when I do speak out,i'm afraid of my voice For it falters at times,cracking under the whips those held by "the man" who pound on my head seeping its insults into my brain as I try not to fall for these harsh voices But there are times when I can't, when I'm beat down too hard and all I can do is fall down and cry hiding in my facade of an arrogant silence while all the while shaking and whimpering inside And because of this, the girl who is hardly ever seen fades even farther,deeper into the abyss of her soul's container so don't judge me to be that girl you percieve because you'll never truly know if you're right after all /\/The Editing Queen\/\ It's strange that words are so inadequate.

I’m not usually one that is not able to express the way I feel about poems, even if I am about other stuff, but on this one? I can’t… For me I can relate so well to this, it hits so close to home, that I can’t offer anything other than a great job. I know that seems hardly adequate and I promise if I knew the words that would show how much I really liked this I would say them. Yet, since I can’t, I hope you are able to understand that I loved this more than you could imagine. It is and always will be one of my favorites I believe… It is one that will go into my library I’m sure… Thanks for sharing this one, you are a great writer in my book @-->--- |
