Array ( [sid] => 9136 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Effort [time] => 2002-12-23 20:00:00 [hometext] => this is a very honest poem... [bodytext] => It all seems such an effort to make an effort
I don’t understand why it can be so hard
Its hurts just to be myself, in my own skin
You always told me to aim higher, but I can’t even see the stars

It’s almost like there’s no point going on
I can’t see why I should go through all this pain
I’m having thoughts about things I shouldn’t be
I feel like everything’s so different, but nothing’s changed

I don’t really know what to do anymore
All the everything that didn’t matter seems so big
It’s like there’s this hole and no matter what I do I can’t fix it
I need to cross this black river but I can’t find the bridge

I know that I need help to help myself
I know that I’ll never do this on my own
But I cant see how I’ll get out of this ****** up world
I want to reach out and sit with you on your fairytale throne

But I know, that at the end of the day, I don’t matter
I know, that in the end, who cares?
I know I’ll have to face up to this one day
But right now, I don’t know if I’ll ever dare

A very honest poem as you said as well as a very good one. Wow this was indeed amazing. I to feel as if thier is a hole in my heart that I can't fix. Right now I feel so helpless and alone, but keep your chin up. I'd miss reading your poems. Keep 'em up!

This poem is full of truth. Sometimes I get so caught up in my own problems that I forget there might be other people like me. I loved this thanks for sharing..

Oh my friend, i think all to many of us sit on fairytale throne's....many willing to admit it, many people won't.....i can admit i sit on a fairytale throne... but i keep reality within arm's length because i have to know that i realize what can and cannot be in life for me, i love the way you made this poem flow so beautifully, there's only a few words i have left to say so listen to them my friend........You do matter, and i do care....and i say live your life to it's fullest and follow your heart no matter where it takes you....thanks for sharing this one it touched me deeply....

....This is an awesome poem, it feels as though everyone goes through the same thing at the same time or something. This poem is similar to my poem, "You expect too much".....you should read it and find the similarities.....Keep up the good work....

this is a great, very emotional yet intellectual poem, i love the idea of it being hard 'just to be myself, in my own skin ' - that's a fantastic line, because it's something that we all feel at some point, but none of us can truly change - well done for being able to write about such a universal feeling in such an original way.
Lots of Love
