[hometext] => Written on a day when I didn't feel particularly good about myself.
[bodytext] => I look all around at them These beautiful people Frown, sigh, and wonder Why was I not made one of them ? There are so many of them,grains of a desert sand The sleek, latin angel with the cascading hair And eyes so dark Black as coals in the fresh fallen snow To the left he walks so debonaire and proud Pauses to let them admire the cut of his cloth Speaks in a low but definite tone As he runs slender fingers through thick golden mane I stop, catch sight of the cruel mirror Another line where there were once so few Eyes tired of always being in the shadows Full of longing to be noticed All around me they laugh and joke Animated faces sparkle with life I want to shout out so loud that I am here too But they are so many and I am only one She smiles at me, freezes time for a moment Long red dress swirling about her feet, she glides across the room I smile too, then realise She is looking past me, captive to the man in the corner sipping his wine They seem to have so many friends This circle of perfection grows What twist of the knife is this that scars my thoughts Pushes me to the outside On the fringe of their world I can realise Something perhaps they will take time to see Beauty fades like a withering flower Nature's hand can be so cruel In this great life I am still beautiful In a way that does not dim with the passing of time Look for that flame that burns in everyone Beauty that lies inside [comments] => 3 [counter] => 267 [topic] => 48 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

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. ©
