is the world spinning
or am i?
everyone is asking for too much,
expecting it, demanding it.
pretending is now the key.
pretend you have what people want.
pretend to be happy and give it to them.
pretend to be what your not.
thats what i live by.
i try to be good,
for my mom,
for my teachers,
and friends,
but i always end up being wrong.
i've turned to drinking,
to help clear my head,
you all drove me to it.
but you dont look close enough to see it.
it wasn't all because of u guys though,
it was me too.
i wasn't strong enough to do things for myself,
to think, or pull myself through.
if you really care,
you'll try and help.
im asking for it straight out.
dont care if your a friend or foe,
someone to trust or fear,
run from or near,
i need you to be there.
if you dont want to or cant,
i guess its ok.
i'll be just fine,
unless i slip off
and die........ [comments] => 3 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 43 [informant] => eeka_taquito [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

what i think of this is that you are a great writter!! you have to think about you for a change don't do things for other people!! don't do things for their acceptance when you can have the mere pleasure of self acceptance! you are your own truest best friend!! you are perfect the way that you are god made you that way and he doesn't expect you to change!! that used to be me it thought my own oppinions were wrong because they were different. you see you can't do things to make other people happy other wise you will live a life of saddnes and pain!1 you ave to be happy doing thingst the way you want the things that truly make you happy!

eternity couldn't have said it better... I know how you feel as I have been there myself. Striving for the acceptance of everyone around me, trying to mould and shape myself into the person that they all wanted me to be. But the day will come when you realize that the most important person in your life is YOU, and the only person that you must satisfy and accept is YOURSELF. My dear you are strong enough to get through this, and you will. My thoughts are with you, all the best...excellent poem as well :)
