Array ( [sid] => 104794 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To be [time] => 2005-08-31 18:33:31 [hometext] => This poem, is wrong, for me. But I love it, I don't care. No, that's wrong. I hate it, but I love that I hate it. So, I don't care if you hate it, or not. Sort of inspired by tonight, but really this is about alll the arguments, with everyone. [bodytext] => And it's
Almost
Funny,
The way I
Can turn,
And can twist,
What we say,
Into something
...Different,
To what was there,
To be said.

But it hurts,
When you cry,
(When I cry,)
When you scream,
When it's heard,
When it's not,
When it's seen.

When I talk,
In that voice,
When you give me,
No choice,
When I hurt,
In this way,
When it's too hard,
To say:

I'm sorry.

And it's time,
To let go,
Just to breathe,
Just to,
Feel
Just to talk,
In that way,
Where we both
Can be real,

But it's just too hard to say,
(The words got in the way,
Of my thoughts.) [comments] => 17 [counter] => 457 [topic] => 61 [informant] => lostinmyself [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 55 [ratings] => 11 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

I like this part, what you said. The spoken words overriding what the mind wants to say. Words coming out without the mind working.

Deep write, its great.

I love the flow and rhythym of the poem. It's kind of stream of consciousness, which works with the meaning. Great poem!

Hate the topic maybe Philly, but don't hate the content...for this is a great, soul-searching type of write, and I love it. I feel almost wrong bringing up the flow of this, but how can I not?? The flow of your words was flawless, and quite natural. Well done PhillyGirl!!

*big hugs*

  • Woah.. O_o.
    It's hard to add onto the comments already Philly,
    but I definitely agree with them all..

    And I, like Scorpy, can't help but bring up the flow of the poem.. wonderful!
    All the words just seemed to -belong- there...

    Deep and impacting write.

    *Huggies*

    This reminds me of a song.

    "Theres no way
    this can have a happy ending . . .
    When niether one of us
    wants to be the first to say good bye"

    Quote from "Niether one of us" By Gladys Knight and the Pips

    Very unique and effective poem about how we communicate with others. It seems to point out....we mean what we mean, but don't always mean what we say. And we don't always say what we mean or mean what we say. Hopefully, we strive to share what is in our hearts.

    I commend you for submitting this poem.

    Will

    Wel now, a bit diffrent for you and yet can I expect anything less?
    Great flow, of course and somehow says so much in its straightforward format.

    Well, I see. Is it a kind of experiment? I can understand what drives you but...a bit confusing.
