Array ( [sid] => 53513 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => And I will be okay [time] => 2004-06-24 13:32:09 [hometext] => I wrote this about a friend, I think a lot of people have been here and can possibly relate [bodytext] => I’ll hold you at a distance
If only to make you see
Just how much I find it hard
To really show you the real me

I wanted you to notice
And accept my better traits
Tonight I want to admit to you
So I can start over, straight

I’m sorry that I feel this way
I feel like giving in
I hope one day you’ll understand
That I feel like I’m dying within

I wanted you to know
How hard it is to be this way
To hate my own reflection
But to be faced with it everyday

I know you truly love me
I wish that I could too
So that maybe I could be okay
And start this over, anew

You promised you’d be here for me
But I was never here for myself
Torturing myself mentally
And destroying my own health

I know it must be sick to see
My arm of precise little scars
That’s why I hold you at arms length
You can’t see them from afar

I want you to understand
Why I hurt myself this way
Trying so hard to believe in myself
And trying to finally be okay

There is so much about me
I never would want you to know
But still I need you to help me
So that one day I won’t be so low

I know that I am hurting you
I want you here to stay
I need you so much it scares me
One day I’ll finally be okay [comments] => 1 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 55 [informant] => carmen_queasy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )
And I will be okay

That was great. I can actually relate to it. Keep it up!
