Array ( [sid] => 108629 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Number One Fan [time] => 2005-10-28 08:16:41 [hometext] => [bodytext] => After everything my mother has taught me, you would think that I would have a clue
But I don’t

Still trying to seek happiness through other human beings
Running as far and as fast away from personal responsibility as possible
But I hate to be alone

I panic
I get depressed
And I starve myself from happiness that I deserve when I am alone

I understand the difference between being introverted and extroverted
But this goes beyond that

I want to be happy without the aid of other people
I don’t want to be co-dependant anymore
I see there is a difference
But I can’t figure out how to self-heal and how to trust myself

I guard and protect other’s feelings with my life
But I toss my own aside like dirty laundry

Perhaps the first step in this long journey is to teach myself how to believe that I am important
That I am beautiful
That my feelings count
That I should be my number one fan

you express your feelings so well.. I could feel it all and I love how the title makes it all come together.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. Â©
