Array ( [sid] => 32096 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => You say [time] => 2004-01-19 09:48:50 [hometext] => Every coin has two sides but the soul tells a story best [bodytext] => You say self respect like it means something,
I woke up this morning realizing mine had been gone for awhile,
You say self control like everyone uses it at the appropriate time,
You say selfishness is some thing we are all born with,
Yet I find people confuse all these words with pride, And just from what I remember: My pride has always been my enimie sense before the turns of time.
Seems pride has burrdons this heart isn't willing to pay for any more and this soul doesn't care to bare anymore,
Emotions are one thing my pride doesn't like to share,
To ones self must you be true,
A lesson to complex for my feeble mind to except,
You say safety like everyone knows just what it feels like in this mad world,
You say security like each person has felt it in their lives,
Yet I have never been safe or secure with my self much less with anyone else, And probly never will,
How do you change when you fear everyone and everything you see,
Again my biggest enimie has always been me,
And the world a competitive villian trying to defeat the enimie!!!!

Agreed, this has some soul-searching elements to it..... being able to look into yourself like that takes guts, especially to share your faults like that. (personally, I don't think I'd have the guts to share that..... I'm too shy...lol)

Great writing.

God bless,
Ellen

Expressed beautifully

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. ©
