dont laugh

a poem about how i feel right now

i wish i wasn't too much to take
and that my smile wasn't fake
and that i didn't think to much
and that i felt like i was enough
i wish these feelings that conflict
would get in cheak and stop the split
i try to block these things out
but it still ends up a muffled shout
i just wanted 1 thing to change
for once not feel like a mistake
a lifetime that i've waited
just to feel appreciated
night mares turn my dreams to cinders
feeling you slip through my fingers
its hard to admit is easy to hurt this man
but if its not what you want any more i would understand
and if it is you have to leave
i just ask please don't laugh at me

"Nightmares turn my dreams to cinders"...

Powerful write. The joy in poetry is that it's pain, eveyone knows how you're feeling. The difference is that poetry can hide even emotions, making it seem like the author is feeling something completely different then what they are saying. I can understand this work and it's pained beauty. I've often felt the same.

May you find your voice.

Why do you keep writing about me. Are we twins, did god make two people he wanted to torment the same way at the same time, one male one female.

Reading this really makes me feel like crying...(and not becasue its bad but because it's good, lol!) It's so moving because you know its from the heart to someone that's more important then even life itself.

It's a great write.
