[hometext] => Old poem I found on my comp.
[bodytext] => These days are melting together I can barely tell one from the next My soul's screams echo inside my caged mind And for a second I see the light Why have I chosen to turn away from it? I shook my head and laughed Why trust what burns and betrays you? Why not put this life into the darkness Which caresses you and cares for you and holds you tight and makes you feel loved? I hate that I've asked myself about it countless times And still I don't learn From my own stupidity Why am I so dumb? I wish I could be smart like my idols I wish I could be them and I try But then... People say I'm fine how I am But where is all my self-hate coming from? Why is it fine for others Who are so utterly flawed To wallow in imperfection and be happy how they are Why do they not strive to acheive self-betterment? How lazy I hate that too And when someone thinks They are special They keep bragging And feel invincible But when someone like I Come along to tell them they are not They get angry Because they know it's true They are not special Just like you. Again and again I find myself with people who are so easily swayed By how someone looks or thinks But they never take time To care about them I guess what's different about me Is that I do not talk frivolously I mean everything I say Jokes aren't wise I am sincere with all That's why I have good friends And that's why I have none who are in love with me Because I am honest and true Because I know it's you that is ruining the world and people who are the same If all of you left It'd be much happier here. My solution: Change your judgmental ways or leave. Strive to be better all the time. Mean everything you say. Only joke if the other knows you're joking.
