[hometext] => The last 2 lines were inspired by Linkin Park's "Numb". The first line of that song pretty much sums up what this poem is about: "I'm tired of being what you want me to be."
[bodytext] => I've tried my best But it's never good enough I've followed my heart But it took me in circles around myself My head is stressed I've just about had enough I guarded my heart But you got in somehow so what's the point in trying? If I can't even be who I always thought I was And I can't even speak when words are all I have to give The stars are fading And the sky is blurring And I can't even feel the rain coursing down my face I'd hold you up But I'm afraid I'm too weak I try to be steady But these selfish hands just won't stop trembling I'm all cut up And silent for fear I'll misspeak I'm crying already I wish I could scream and break this wall in front of me If I can't even throw it in your face and make you see And I can't even tell you all the ways it makes me feel My memory's fading My vision is blurring And I can't even feel the burning tears the rain erased Someday this won't be so bad I'll stop feeling so sad And I'll stand up on my own Grow a little backbone Be a little less like you And a little more like me [comments] => 3 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 48 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
