Array ( [sid] => 13290 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Know Who I Am [time] => 2003-02-25 15:24:05 [hometext] => All I ever wanted in my life was for you to just know who I am... [bodytext] => Too often do I hurt inside
I don’t think that I can stand the pain
And with everything that I run from
My life I just cannot explain

Everyday I look at my life
And I try to search for some peace
But with everything thats going on
When will these emotions cease?

Everyday proves to be worsening
And I don’t want to have to cry
And when I think I’m doing okay
I feel more lost and want to say goodbye

Where have you gone to now?
How I wish you could take me away
I could write endless letters to you
But you wouldn’t understand all I say

Why did you leave on the star chase?
I want things to be how they were before
Cause everything seems too confusing
And I don’t want the pain anymore

I want to run away from this place
And I wish that I couldn’t be here
Cause everyday proves more frightening
I’m so scared and I’m trapped by my fears

In a world where they do not forgive
And all they ever do Is just forget
As they slash you down to reality
They make you remorse and regret

But As I draw closer to my death
I think of you to just stay alive
But how can I live in this world?
When I don’t have you here to survive?

I’d promise you anything
And I’d do anything that you’d want
Just as long as I could be near you
So that I wouldn’t have to fall

But I don’t want to be here anymore
There just so much that I want to erase
And with everything I died for
I always feel like I’m such a disgrace

And I don’t want to be noticed
And I don’t want to be laughed at
Cause all I ever wanted in my life
Was for you to know who I am

All I wanted was for you to see
Just how much I really could be
So that you could understand
And inside you would know who I am

Please won’t you just know who I am? [comments] => 2 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 39 [informant] => SpreadYourWings [notes] => [ihome] => 1 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

I am speechless and blown away. I had to read this poem a couple of times because each time... I was able to feel and understand more emotion and that is the way that poetry is supposed to be.
