Array ( [sid] => 5665 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Leaning Toward Goodbye [time] => 2002-10-26 15:00:00 [hometext] => I always write from my heart, and find that the words come out how I want them to when I free-write before editing the words into a poem. Sometimes my free-verse shocks me, but the poems they create describe my feelings well. ~Jess [bodytext] => Please tell me what I feel now
Tell me why I cry
Explain to me the hurt I feel
And why I want to die

Tell me why I hurt so much
And feel so alone
Each teardrop burns my cheek
Are these scars not shown?

Tell me why I have no strength
When I used to be so strong
Is there a real reason
To why I can’t hold on?

Please tell me you can feel my pain
And know that it is real
Explain that it is not too late
And this is not too deep to heal

Tell me you can help me
And want to be my friend
Explain that it will be okay
And you can help my sadness end

Please tell me that you understand
My depression and despair
Hold me like you did before
So I know you care

Tell me I can I can cry on you
And you won’t walk away
Can’t you read it in my eyes
That I need you to stay?

Tell me you have not given up on me
And you never will
Even after my mistakes
Tell me you love me still

Please tell it’s not over
And I don’t have to die
Believe me when I tell you
I’m leaning toward goodbye

I don't know if I should congratulate you or feel sorry for you Jessica!, but I sure will say that you are one of the rare poem writers, and you use the exact tools ...your heart and a pencil.

Sitting here reading this knowing exactly how it feels...because I am at the point where I am leaning toward goodbye...too many people pulling me in too many directions and no time for me to decide what I want for myself. Thanks for sharing this...

awwwww jess this is so sad, hang in there aye, dont give up. look after urself and keep expressing ur feelings through ur poetry. and remember - a horse is a girls/guys best friend, i always find that i can go to my horse and talk to her and cry with her around me and she always manages to make me feel better, even if it is just by hitting me on the shoulder with her muzzle. she always knows when im sad.
