Array ( [sid] => 107478 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => peices of who we are [time] => 2005-10-10 21:53:59 [hometext] => this has alot of hidden meaning and i think everyone here can relate to this... [bodytext] => jaged lines of broken hearts
sutured rows of forgotten dreams
shattered glasses of long lost hope
ripped up peices of who we are...

bound to trip, we watch our step
set up to fall, we lay out mats
ready to hurt, we swallow the pills
prepared for hate, we grow unattatched

we write out words to light the way
we sing our songs to hold us up
we cause more pain to ease the rest
we focus on this to ingnore them all

unaware of the strength within
unknowing that we are not alone
unprepared to meet out match
unconscious thoughts of who we are

we want to be found, so we hide
we want them to catch us, so we run
we want to see, so we shut our eyes
we want to hear, so we cover our ears

now these words become our peices
so for one more day we go on fearless
now these words take their form
so for one more day we weather the storm...

i like this poem ...

just my thought tho ...
for me its about paradoxes and lack of trust

one has to trust some thing some time ...
in a sense that is weathering the storm.

I like the analogies, the way they form a mental picture, you do a really good job of letting us in your head.

This is an absolutely wonderful reflection of the fact that we always seek in others our identity. We just want to be seen for the absolute truth of who we are. Others reflect us and all that we are. So grand a piece is this I ask myself....so who am I as a result of you knowing me.
