Array ( [sid] => 16297 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Why Can't I ? [time] => 2003-04-20 17:05:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => the day begins, and my body trembles as my feet hit the floor,
the fight has started, its with myself, with my family,
with the world.

two hours sleep, the rest was stolen from me,
by thoughts of yelling, screaming, being afraid,
trips to the bathroom, to make sure it was all gone,
just one last time i say to myself, just one more.

it has never just been one more, but everytime i say, just one more,
to convince myself, so its easier to convince them,
to please them, so they wont be so mad,

i dissapoint them, i dont care about me,
i want to make them happy, i look in the mirror,
i think what is stopping you,
if you stop now then you can make them happy,

but i cant stop, every day it gets smaller,
every day they get madder,
every day i stay awake thinking of the next day,
soon there will be none left,

my body will be happy,
they wont be happy,
and my mind wont be happy,
why cant i please them. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 177 [topic] => 32 [informant] => 0o_Jelly_Bean_o0 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Believe me you can't please everybody. The last 13 years of my life that is all I have been trying to do and it has nearly destroyed many times over. I love my family but for some reason they don't love me.
