[hometext] => I have no idea what it is I'm about to right, but I think I'll try to just speak from my heart.
[bodytext] => I don't think I have the words to say But I'll try to say them anyway And God please help me cause I don't think I can move I'm calling out so please shake me from this mood No little kid has ever said he wants to be like me And in a way I'm glad, cause he doesn't deserve to be To be stuck in this cage of insecurity To forget what it means to really breathe Sometimes I wonder why I have so much trouble fitting in I want to be normal; to be just like my friends But then I don't, I want to be a person called myself I want to change the world but do it without standing out Sometimes I'm afraid cause it feels like this is wrong These thoughts in my head; I wouldn't have them if I were strong But what can I do when I make a joke that no one hears But someone else says it and what greets them is laughter and cheers Sometimes I think I've found the person who I really am But it's just poetry written out in the sand The waves roll in and wash myself away And my identity is gone before it aged a day I'm at a party but I'm sitting all alone I've been here often but I still can't feel at home Tell myself I'm being stupid; there's no reason to feel this way But my heart won't listen to the words my brain is trying to say There's a God who loves me and I really love him too But sometimes I'm ungrateful; I want something else, something that's new. A new life- to be the person everyone loves. To be the eagle- I'm discontent with being the dove And now the words are becoming so insincere I'm trying to scream, but nothing is coming out clear This always happens; so I think I'm just about done I tried to feel but I ended up only feeling numb I'm trying to write but the words won't come anymore It's like they're there, but I've lost the key that used to open that door When I started this I had no clue what words to say But I decided I'd try to say them anyway Now I know exactly what I want to communicate But when the thoughts came in it was already too late I've lost the ability of expression At least that was one good thing about depression But though I don't think I have the words I want to say I might just try to say them anyway God's the one who can make things get better But even if he doesn't, doubt him I will never I'll trust his faithfulness and I'll trust his grace I'll trust him to help me finish this race I don't have to win- just have to cross the finish line Although at points I feel like I'm running out of time So God, I'm going to sleep tonight- Turn off this laptop, I've already turned out the light But I want you to know that you're the love of my life And even if it hurts I know you're always right [comments] => 2 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 75 [informant] => TCK [notes] => Corrected spelling per request ~ Moderator_18 June 17, 2012 [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

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. ©
