Array ( [sid] => 78 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dont Tell Me [time] => 2002-07-11 11:02:01 [hometext] => This poem although writen by me i am not the speaker is not myself for the whole poem. The speaker is mostly my brother. This came from a talk we had while swiming. I never knew how close i was to losing him for good. Luckily I didnt as you will see in the poem. [bodytext] =>

Don’t tell me how to feel
Don’t tell everything will be ok
Don’t tell me what to think or how to act
Don’t tell me a single thing until you know how I feel

Have you ever held a razor to your arm?
Your arm that is all tied up so you can see the veins that are about to pop out
Just waiting for the phone to ring?
Until you have don’t tell that I am not depressed
Have you ever stayed awake at night calling out to God?
But only hearing silence?

Have you ever found the love of you life?
Only to lose them then to regain them then lose them once again?
Until you feel the heartbreak that I do don’t you dare tell me look on the bright side of life.
Just sit here and listen for I know you are good at that
For you have done it before
Comfort me like you did this night

Don’t tell what to do
But you never do in away that makes me mad
You do it in the most loving way
I love you too sis and thank-you
I will try my hardest to keep living
For I don’t want to make you feel pain

This poem is beautiful. I admire you for making the effort to look at a situation from someone else's point of view. A lot of people are just too set in their ways to admit that maybe their point of view isn't the only one that has relevance. Good for you. This shows that you understand him, which shows that you really pay attention to him and listen to him. He's lucky to have you, and if he doesn't konw it, he deserves a swift kick in the butt!

beautiful write. makes you feel good that all is ok and will . you touched your brother by your love and that will help him. I also have to mentioned this...

Have you ever stayed awake at night calling out to God?

Sometimes we want to hear his voice or see him appear in front of our eyes.
but then we wouldnt be living on faith then would we.
the way I see it. HE DID COME IN AND HELP.
