Array ( [sid] => 33600 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Life is a Blade of Ice or Knife [time] => 2004-02-02 22:01:16 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Life is a Blade of Ice or Knife
February 2, 2004

all my life
it seems people have been rescueing me
and now i want to rescue myself
sometimes i try to help myself
and sometimes it works
other times i end up needing more help than i did before
but i never ask for the help
i try again to supply myself
and yet again i am denied and supplied
with only more pain
and still i do not refrain
from hiding my needs to those i claim to love

sometimes i ask my friends for advice
or just saying it makes it better
other times i feel i need to be comforted
just hugged for no reason
just loved
i smile inside when someone thinks of me
when im not beside them
that means they think of me, and love me
and i love that feeling
sometimes i need reassurance in life
from anyone i can get it from
but mostly i just try to help myself
im accustomed to being helped
from the moment i was born
i was the 'poor thing' people talked about
and up til just three years ago
it seemed i'd been sheltered
but today i want to shelter myself
help myself
rescue myself

it's too bad all my lessons in life
are taught to me through strife
but hey-that's life
a blade of ice or knife

all my life
it seems people have been rescueing me
from a home with no unconditional love
from a school
from a situation
but today i want to take care of myself
maybe tomorrow i'll need you again
maybe yesterday i did too
but today i want to learn to walk
with no one to catch me if i should fall

i know concerns are for the best
and i dont mind that you care
but today i want to learn to fly
fly alone where no one can stare
when i begin to fall through the skies
i suppose it would be nice to have some one hear my cries
and dry my eyes
tomorrow, i may invite that for me
but today i want to rescue
rescue myself, rescue me [comments] => 2 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 43 [informant] => calista [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
