[hometext] => Did a search for my internet handle the other day, and all this old poetry stuff came up. So I thought I'd post a new one here, seeing as how I used to enjoy the site a lot. A poem about going stoic, turning to stone.
[bodytext] => I carved a heart straight out of steel, Mine just seemed too damn open. To attacks, to theft, and bleeding. This'll stop all that, I'm hoping. I plugged it in and went to work Telling everyone I know. Some people sneared and called me "jerk". Didn't bother me much though. Next I decided I'd build a wall, With not one doorway out. Anyone wanting to talk at all Was forced to scream and shout. Next I put up signs that read: "Leave me the hell alone!" People came in droves instead Most with casting stones. Deciding I need go one better I picked up a trap or two. Now any who come, quickly leave saying: "You bastard, how dare you?!" Now I sit all by myself Pretending I don't care. Every so often, though, its frightening When even I don't realize I'm there.
