[hometext] => I feel obliged to say that the first bit of the fifth stanza was inspired by Finger Eleven's "One Thing". The rest of it, well... it's just life. The parts my eyes were never opened to till now.
[bodytext] => My nerves are shot Love's become an afterthought My edges are frayed For release from this life, I've prayed You've opened my eyes, and I'm not sure I like what I see But you won't let me continue to walk through life carefree I understand you can't always hold my hand But I refuse to leave behind my dreamland I'm scared I won't succeed well enough to satisfy you And that I'll never be able to see your point of view 'Cause I've never had to hide the way I feel But I guess to have your love, it's a fair deal I'm losing heart After so much time apart But I'm standing strong Because I've loved you all along No one ever told me life wouldn't always be like this That sometimes it's nothing more than a game of hit or miss That one day I'd become everything I hate And that love doesn't always cooperate I wish I could go on pretending to be what I'm not But it turns out I'm even more imperfect than I thought You could tell me everything that's wrong with me But no matter what you say I won't agree I know it's true but I don't wanna hear you say it 'cause I hate the way it sounds I know you're right but I don't think they'll ever cure me 'cause I'm too lost to be found I know it's real but I'd rather pretend it's not there 'cause I'm crawling on the ground I know it's true but I don't wanna hear you say it 'cause I hate the way it sounds You've opened my eyes and I don't like what I see Till now I've never had to hide the way I feel No one told me life wouldn't always be so great And that one day I'd become everything I hate [comments] => 2 [counter] => 143 [topic] => 21 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
