Array ( [sid] => 9059 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Reflections by the wharf [time] => 2002-12-22 07:20:00 [hometext] => i wrote this as a class assignment, we went to the wharf and wrote what we felt. i had to read mine to the class, and one boy asked me, "What's wrong with you?".....

read it and laugh... [bodytext] => I sit here, surrounded, yet i am alone,
No-one knows me, not even, at all.
My name may be Ashleigh, but no-one can see,
The face behind the mask-the real me.

I cover my arms, pretend that my scars arent really there.
It's easier to pretend that I'm normal, "happy",
Pretend that my concerns lie with the colour of my hair.

If life could offer me
Truth.
Would i take it? I know the
Truth.
Yet no-one seems to realise

That i'm nothing, i'm bad news,
My life is worthless...

Yet i digress.

One in a billion, the silent minority
who sit and watch "Wheel of Fortune"
and abide by the authority.

If i could be one of them, if i could
ever be normal, sane,
happy
or human.

Then i would be lying.

I will always be nothing.
a nobody,
a masachist,
a miser.

And no-one will be the wiser. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 214 [topic] => 36 [informant] => ashleigh4 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

Hey, Ashleigh why do u always say 'read it and laugh"? This was a very sad poem that boy is cruel don't pay attention to him. I've felt like what u wrote in the poem many times, but let me say you are a somebody and dont let ne one say otherwise. Keep your chin up!
