[hometext] => If you wear a mask to hide pain you hurt under disguise
[bodytext] => I've been following an artist she's colouring her face Splashing yellows with reds on the tips of her base And you'd think she were beautiful but it's not the case No, she's a work best kept stored I wrote her a letter, sent in the mail Regretfully hoped the delivery'd fail So she'd never know I put her up for sale At an antique show for free When people wear plaster, a painted on skin I forget true texture, the person within If I could drawn her back i don't know where I'd begin She's been lost too long in the frame And me, I wear my feelings On the sleeve of a vulnerable shirt And I'd rather not fake it Then hurt, no, so go ahead and hurt I've walked by a man with a million friends but I am not one When he calls out my name I cower and run For the things that he says are the things that I shun And I know he shuns them too He parades on blabbing his lies to the crowd That began following him the day he got loud And for the first time his words are allowed His presence welcomed in But these people are monsters with false promises of love Sickly, sad demons pretending they're sent from above Who'd take you to a cliff just to give you a shove Maybe a shove is just what he wants And me, I wear my feelings On the sleeve of a vulnerable shirt And I'd rather not fake it Then hurt, no, so go ahead and hurt Stop lacking true texture, I need you here right With a fixture of unevens and irregular sight I wear my feelings I'd rather not fake it Hurt, go ahead and hurt Stop lacking true texture, hurt, so go ahead and hurt hurt [comments] => 4 [counter] => 268 [topic] => 72 [informant] => Franciswolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => self-harmpoetry )

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. ©
