[hometext] => He knows the way to get me to talk.... and i hate that.
[bodytext] => How do you do it? How do you know what to do When I act like this? You make me want to tell you You just have a way At handling me What it is -- I can’t say, But you won’t let me be When I yell at you to get away You just step back and say, ‘I’m here for you if you need me, but nothing I’ll say’ It’s like me being alone is something you fear I glare at you and swear in my head, But I guess you don’t want me feeling shunned Then at night, you call me, ‘Go to bed’ It’s like you knew I was reaching for the gun When I yell and say I don’t want to talk You just say, ‘All right, you just need some time, But let me know how you feel after I take a walk’ And you walk away and soon I’m at your side ‘Why do you do that?!’ I yell at you You smile at me, ‘What? Walk away?’ You stop walking and I stop, too ‘Yes—you just walk away!’ I say ‘But you said you didn’t want to talk to me’ I feel my teeth grit together and grow quiet I’m used to my friends bothering me not to be the way I am, that’s what helps me be silent You start to walk, but then stop and turn to me You come to me and reach out to take my hand ‘Come and take a walk with me and you’ll see that talking with others really isn’t that bad.’ I yank my hand away from you And I turn and start sprinting away, I almost slipped and did what you said to do I hate how you always know what to say As I run, I find a place where I can hide I sit by myself for 5 minutes and then 5 more And then I hear a noise and you’re at my side I can tell by your face you won’t give up in our war I feel tears threatening to flow I clench my fists, ‘Get away from me’ You look into my eyes, ‘No, I absolutely refuse to just get up and leave’ You sit next to me and don’t say anything more I can’t stand the silence and you know it You know that silence makes me weak and sore In silence I grow weary and want to throw a fit Now it seems easy to talk about my feelings Seems easy to tell you how I want to pick up the knife Seems easy to tell you I’m way past healing Seems easy to tell you that I just want to end my life But I can’t talk to you, can’t let it out I stand up and walk past you I’m meant to live life in anger and doubt But as always, you know what to do ‘Running away won’t solve anything.’ I clench my fists and turn back You know how to stop me and I want to scream You walk to me and now it’s words I lack ‘You should talk from your heart. Shutting off from people that care About you really isn’t that smart. Anything that you feel, I want to share.’ Again, the tears want to come and flow You don’t bug me like the others do You know that if my feelings are to show, You have to not annoy me to talk to you You just have a way At handling me What it is -- I can’t say, But you won’t let me be [comments] => 2 [counter] => 177 [topic] => 48 [informant] => sprinter27 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [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. ©
