Array ( [sid] => 9983 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => let me re-phrase [time] => 2003-01-08 10:40:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Sit back for a moment and don't say a word
Just take in these words I must try to convey

I have never been completely able to cope
With the world spining around me
And I wear a mask to hide my confusion
I hide from the realities I fear to face
It's not out of rebellion or contempt
It is out of my flawed self, out of me

I will never be what I want to be
I will never be what I want to be for you
I will always try to hide my flushed face
I will always hesitate telling you my deep dark secrets
I will always try to smile brightly
Even though my walls are slowly crumbling

It's not because I don't trust you
It's not because I don't need you
It's because I can't live with myself
Can't live in sadness
Can't live in disappointment
Can't take showing more imperfection than I have to

Don't be upset at this
Just try to understand
That I try and try and try
To be more for you
To be better for you
To be only for you

And I will try to cure myself
Of these habits I possess...
But it's so hard to change
When you are so used to living like this [comments] => 2 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Adreana [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
