Array ( [sid] => 40324 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Why [time] => 2004-03-26 04:46:54 [hometext] => This poem is for those with self-doubt, and the fear of losing the one closest to you. [bodytext] => I know you often ask why I sometimes cry and I would sigh and say, I don't know why.
When really deep down inside, I always knew why.
Still I always lied, you never made me feel secure.
I feared you would not acept my words nor would you understand them.
In my mind I feel as if I am a disappointment to everyone I love.
Even though you may never know how truly greatful I am for your shoulder to cry on .
Always telling me everything would be okay and then giving me a hug.
The support that you give me helps me find the strength to keep trying.
Somedays the pain is so bad I wish it would all end, no more failures just quit.
I remind myself enough on what I should have done or could have gotten done.
Without you saying all the hurtful things that you do, the tears are for the pain I cannot hide.
Really I do know why I cry, its out of fear.
I'm scared that maybe my best just isn't good enough.
