Array ( [sid] => 20228 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Everything you don't believe, That is me [time] => 2003-07-10 12:35:00 [hometext] => This is the truth about me. [bodytext] => Hold me tightly
Rock me slightly
I'm going to try and break this lightly

I have this secret deep inside me
But it's something no one will ever see
And you believing me isn't likely

You watch movies on tv
Never thinking it is real
But what if things you see there are things you really feel?

I'm sure you'll laugh this thought away
Because for you the ideas just don't stay
I wish I could have that just one day

I have this pain deep inside
And it will plague my body until I die
Punishing me for each time I've tried

Along with this something pulls so hard
Waiting for me to let down my gaurd
It knows that I'm becoming very scarred

Each day it gets a little rougher
It knows I'll never get any tougher
When it strikes it pulls me under

I shiver alone in the cold
It's like my soul has been sold
And I'll never get it back, even when I'm old

I want to cry but it won't allow
The way it achieves this, I'm not sure how
Why doesn't it just take me now?

It makes me do awful things
I scream in pain while joy it sings
It knows it's clipping off my souls wings

The only thing that can beat this creature
Are the stars at night, I am quite sure
They take it away as if it never were

All the things it makes me see, hear, feel and do
The stars steal them and replace them with thoughts that are new
And restore my happiness too

Still don't know why I am stressed?
You probably think that I should rest
Or that I am just really messed

Look much harder and believe it all
Don't you dare try to stall
Or put up some sort of stupid wall

You know what it is
And it's up to you now
Are you going to choose to believe it?

You will never meet someone quite like me
This I can garauntee
For I am all the things you don't believe

Everything you don't believe, That is me

I liked your poem...I understand where you are coming from. My family and friends don't want to believe the probs i have going on in my life they would rather only see me as an angel, sometimes I can't even believe I have turned out as I have...such a disapointment, but not to late to become what you want to be. `day`

WHAT A FIRST VERSE.I dont think I have ever read (or written) a better one.Trouble is it's hard to follow and the poem changes pace.

But the message and the build up to the end is exceptional and tjhe last line an absolute gem.

Thanks for the experience. Made my day!

"Variaton on a theme by lostforgood"

Hold me tightly
rock me slightly
I'm going to try and break this lightly

I hold this secret deep inside
something so hard to confide
I can't believe I even tried.

You think TV has no appeal,
things you see there are not real.....
But they are things I really feel

So go on! Laugh my thoughts away
because your ideas just don't stay
Wish I had that .........for just one day

I have this pain....deep inside
punishing me each time I've tried
tormenting me.....won't be denied.

I shiver lonely in the cold
It's just as though my soul I'd sold
and dread to hear my death knell tolled

Tears I try to shed but how?
It's got me and it won't allow
Why doesn't it just take me now

It makes me do most awful things
I scream in pain while joy it sings
takes my soul, clips my wings

I must escape this inner grind,
these dark illusions of the mind
and truly real existence find

The stars are my reality
for every atom making me
came from one originally

This truth....like a magic wand
makes figments of the mind abscond
(big ducks on a little pond)

Suddenly the pond's an ocean
Star made, star lit, star driven motion
the cosmos is my magic potion
