Array ( [sid] => 100326 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Work of Heart but Lacking a Name [time] => 2005-07-06 14:27:50 [hometext] => This is probably the least touched up poem I've ever written. It took about an hour, which is amazingly fast but I love it because I didn't sugarcoat. This is me. Take it or leave it. [bodytext] => The sun has finished sinking,
Some where deep and to the west.
Darkness falls around me but
This night shall bring no rest.

My mind, made up of chaos,
My heart just won’t be still.
It feels my soul is drowning
In the tears I long to spill.

There’s no such thing as truthfulness,
So swallow your venomous lies.
I’m sick to death of losing!
I want my consolation prize.

But noo…
I wound up here with nothing
And trust me, nothin’s all that I got.
I’ve never been so low before
This is what you could call “my lot“.

Over all, I’m a good person
And I don’t deserve this ****!
Sometimes, I’m so confused and
It puts my ringer in a tit.

My feet are raw from eggshells
That I’m forced to trod upon.
Can’t anyone see I’m trying,
Despite the hope that’s almost gone?

And then there is this guilt I feel...
A burden far too great to bear.
It weighs on me so heavily,
Yet, it’s a weight I cannot share.

What do people want from one
Who name is Imperfection?
My pride just will not tolerate
Another callous *** rejection.

So that’s it then, I guess, mmhmm,
Call me a quitter.
I’ll suck it up, shove it down,
Allow it to make me bitter.

I’m wasting no more effort
On what I know will never be.
Who could look past all this ugliness
In order to fall in love with me?

I’m angry and I’m wounded
But there’s so much more inside.
Each day I wake to a slow, soft ache
And I take it all in stride.

The world sure don’t seem so big no more.
I could take it by the balls.
I just got so damn fed up this time.
I tore down all my walls.

Now, nothing, no one can stop me.
I gently embrace the madness.
You can’t understand the “attitude�
But hey, it covers up my sadness.

This; the last time I play victim
For it never ends that well.
I’m done with all the hurting and
You all can go to Hell.

“Happiness�, Ha! Go shove it
Up someplace the sun don’t shine.
Don’t you worry about me none, naw.
Cuz I’m gunna be just fiinnneee.

I had to touch the flame again.
This go, I only got a stinger.
I had so much to give of myself
But now you only get the finger.

One can only take so much
When love is suicide.
No one really wins the game you know,
’Least I can say I tried.

A Work of Heart but Lacking a Name

Cry, how can you comment on a poem like this. I mean it's good because it gets you but then the need to comfort the author and the wish to type something that would make the author feel beta gets in the way and you end up rambling. Anyways good writing.
