Thoughts keep running through my brain My heart's beating fast I cannot breathe Yet somehow I am supposed to believe... "Things will be okay" "You'll be just fine" "You think you have problems, how about I give you mine" My hands are shaking I can't make it go away I'm fighting a losing battle, I can't seem to win What did I do so wrong ? Why do I have to pay?? I've got to hold on I just can't give in... "There's nothing wrong with you it's all in your head" "You're not alive, you're already dead" I have to get away from here I want to go right now Every day I feel myself slipping a little farther away But I'm powerless I can't do a thing, I can't figure out how!! I've got to leave, I've got to go , there's got to be a way But I'm to weak to end it all so here I'm stuck to stay ~*Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear*~ |

Starr..this is SO great...perfect...the conflicting conversation is so creative and very effective. the emotions of the poem are perfect as well...I know so many people like this, who listen but dont really HEAR... thats why i prefer poetry..it talks to me without talking back take care, jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |

i'm glad you are too weak to eand it all! i like you just the way you are! and you are perfectly normal to have problems and they are extremely important. everyone should be willing to listen! if you ever need a listening ear...come find me -- you talk i listen! no worries, mate! i hope you feel better! it scares me when others feel this way b/c i've been there. very well written as always!! you really know how to put words down on paper, let me tell you!!! keep it up! |

simple yet this is so powerful...it shows evidently the desperation of the poet and how he is trapped in a small cage,thinking he may be going mental..... ") |

starr great poem. i liked it very much. i know how it is to feel stuck. for i am stuck myself. for the one i love is 500 miles away and i have no money or way to get to her. so i am stuck. great work. hopefully we will both get unstuck someday. Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel is just a frieght train coming your way... MetallicA |

Starr, we all have these conversations. . . I know that I do. . . and sometimes, I wish that I didn't. . . I hate talking to myself. . .but it's the only way that I listen to myself. . Excellent words, my friend. . . ---------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
