Array ( [sid] => 51053 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Angst [time] => 2004-06-08 22:48:33 [hometext] => I had to write this or kill someone. I felt much better afterwards, but I am still saddened by the necessity of its existence. [bodytext] => Why do I feel like crying?
I shake with my suppressed tears
My face is stone- impassive
My gut holds all my fears
It twists with hidden turmoil
My hands are trembling, unsteady
A killing weight upon my chest
-Despair chokes me.

Why do I feel like crying?
I sense no other heart beating
I am alone, even with friends

I love, but few, and
I am loved, but by few

And still I
Hate

It is ugly- It eats me away inside
This dark thing crouches and snarls and waits
and creeps and hides and salivates
a patient panther, it hunts
Remorseless- it feels no shame
but I do, but not always

Why do I feel like crying?
Catharsis-

Mommy, make it go away
but you cannot,
the trust is gone
unwittingly was I betrayed
It was Him who taught me to
Hate

Why do I feel like crying?
I have held it to me too long,
hugged it to me too long,
clutched it too me too long,
lived with it, and him, too long
Why won’t you make it go away?

It hurts, to learn of humanity, and
not only one’s own
It hurts, to live with hatred and fear
for love
It hurts in my soul- yet I live still
But for how long?

I am twisted, scarred, tainted, stained, and
though I have made my peace with the darkness inside
balance is elusive, and it slips through my grasp

Still am I shadowed, apathetic and alone

Why do I feel like crying? What is wrong with me?

Do you love me?

Please

Lighten my spirit with laughter
Brighten my heart with bliss
Soothe the pain inside my soul-
For I am tired of being alone.

altogether a fantstic piece, though the structure is random it flows really well.

my favourite lines:
I am twisted, scarred, tainted, stained, and
though I have made my peace with the darkness inside
balance is elusive, and it slips through my grasp

very well done.
