Array ( [sid] => 60543 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => dont be there [time] => 2004-08-18 04:29:36 [hometext] => wrote this a while ago,i stuggled fitting in with my inlaws because, they were a close family and i wasnt used to it [bodytext] => I sit here alone and wonder why,
the world seems so perfect in there eyes.
why can't they see a friend in need
instead of a woman who misleads

I tried so hard to be their friend,
to mix in their circle and try to blend.
but my efforts got thrown back in my face,
I was a foreign soul they couldn't embrace.

i am a wise woman of the world,
yet somewhat childish, a little girl.
wanting the best for everybody else,
leaving my own feelings upon the shelf.

where did I go wrong what did i do,
to bring out the bad feeling in you.
did I not care for him enough,
not stick by him when times got rough.

what do I do to put things right,
bite on my tongue with all my might
to let it all go in the blink of an eye
not say any thing because I’m too shy.

I’m sorry it doesn’t work that way,
what you feel, you have to say,
no use leaving the worse unsaid,
tossing and turning in your bed.

quite simply this is the way it goes
I’m tired of you looking down your nose
at me who never done you any wrong,
the one you make feel she doesn’t belong.

I’m on my own, that we all know,
Don’t try to let false feelings show
i don’t need you to help me on the way
coped long enough, enough to say.

I don’t need anyone to help me through,
the bad, good and the hopeless too
I’ve lived learned and I’ve grown,
I can take it all on, on my own. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 65 [informant] => paula_kay23 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )
