Sometimes I feel so alive and Sometimes I feel so dead Sometimes I could cry The thoughts from my head Sometimes, I Personality changing, shifting, Disengaging New voices to spark The old fires The same mind aging Pale blue light, lost my sight Until dawn’s sunlight Rage taking control of me Exposing me Destroying me Until then, I couldn’t recognize My own eyes Or how I do despise Sometimes I can be so cold and Sometimes I run so hot Sometimes I am told, A treasure I am not This story is getting old Lifetime spent lost, losing Paying the cost Only my will to find a way Out of the flames and Out of the frost Hating me, loving me Just being me Waking up watered down Feeling like I’m within a frown Then up, then down Can’t get off the floor Can’t get out the door Can’t take this no more Sometimes I smile and Sometimes I hide Sometimes after awhile Tired after the ride, Don’t know; who am I? |

I know it can be so confusing at times, I only found out my true self, beliefs and purpose at age 32. Once you discover this it eases the burden, the confusion somewhat. Hey if this is really worrying you hon email me and we'll have a talk. *HUGS* May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

JML, this was a great poem to sum up the unsummable? That's probably not a word, but you know what I'm trying to say. This must have been challenging as well as rewarding, 'eh? A |

i love the transition (or lack thereof) between the first two parts. this was very well written. jannel "I'm just saying that we've mistaken one for thousands of words, and for that mistake I've caused you such pain that I damn that word." -10000 Maniacs "Jezebel" |
