Array ( [sid] => 109445 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dedicated to My Mom [time] => 2005-11-10 04:07:45 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I am just a face, just an empty space.
You think I have no say, and you can just mold me like clay.
You say I have no voice, not even a choice.
All since the day I was born, all I have felt is scorn.
I have tried to get you to see, all that is here is me.
You push & push, now all that is left is mush.
I try to give you what you want, but then all you do is flaunt.
I try to let you know, but the credit I get is low.
I left you once before, because I couldn't take anymore.
You say it's for the best. I need to stay inside my nest.
You say I'll thank you one day, but you just don't hear me say...

your tactics are bad. All they do is make me sad.
I want you to understand; I know life isn't always grand.
I do know how the world works. I know it is full of jerks.
I have known all along, life is like one long sad song.
That was never the trouble, I hate to burst your bubble.
I will do what's right. I don't want a big fight.
I would have been fine, had you let me just shine.
But you needed all the power
& to let me know I wasn't the prettiest flower.
Even still you don't get it, although more than I have said it.
If you're not careful you'll push me away, this time to stay.
For once in your life, put down that torturous knife.
This is not a scam. I just want you to see who I am.
Give me that credit I've earned, because that's all I've ever yearned.
Now I am grown & you still think I need to be shown.
You can't protect me forever. You are just not that clever.
Let me teach you a lesson, I am not a mental in session.
I have come far, without even a scar.
So just learn to let me go. Please don't become my foe.
I love you with all of my heart, but my new life is about to start.
I want to share it with you, but you've got to know what to do.
Please don't loose me again. Hear my plead for a friend.
Let me have a voice,
Let me have a choice. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 75 [informant] => kareless [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )
