Underneath the confident smile, the brave walk, talk, and style, I am a frightened little girl- no one knows I'm not so strong, I've been here by myself so long, lonely in a crowded world. I was fool enough to actually believe that what I gave I would receive, I was always there for you- but I am no longer young, naive, I wear independence, you perceive that my heart is not askew. I've grown old with half of you and died with only a piece or two, a scared and lonely ghost- I'll strut happy and smile my rhyme and forget well that you had no time when it was what I needed most.  ~ |

You are too much my friend. How you can pump out these beautiful verses and still feel so alone and fragile I do not know. So many here care for you and have proven that. Accept the love that surrounds you my friend. Time now for a few of your happy fun writes. YOU ARE LOVED |

"lonely in a crowded world" This seemed far too familiar. What a heartfelt piece this was. And as some special poems tend to do with me, it reminded me of a song, if you don't know it you'd might like to check it out. Faith, by The Cure. One of my all time favourite songs. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/cure/faith.html Love "How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!" |

"LONELY IN A CROWDED WORLD" You couldn't have hit the nail on the head more accurate. Absolutely one of my favorites! You've done it again Miss Dixie. It felt as if you wrote this for me...Thanx so much, just what I needed!!!! |

Excellent. This is all true, and yet I have always seen dignity in your writing. (you should tell your little self that you will keep her safe now.) *hug* |

I love the construction of this one. Excellent poem, it made me feel the alone, the suffering. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Fabulous writing..."I was fool enough to actually believe that what I gave I would receive." I have also been so foolish, and yet, at the time I could not stop myself...perhaps when we give it to the wrong person it fails to bring fruit...James |

"Underneath the confident smile, the brave walk, talk, and style, I am a frightened little girl-" So fragile... so skillfully written. |
