"What do you want?" you ask
I want to know that you still care
I want to feel the love we once shared
But for not I must keep my emotions safe
No longer will I be disgraced
The cracks in my armor are spreading
So I'll salvage what's left
And hide what's inside
From outsider theft
I'll shadow my once bright dream of a wedding
And live day to day
To save myself from farther dismay

Leaning on you used to be
Like resting against a strong, sturdy tree
But now that tree
Has tuned into a catus
That is pricking me
Better for me to stand on my own two feet.
Taking risks has left me weak.
So, for there to be an 'us'
You'll have to start chasing me
Because why should I chase a firefly
That is about to turn into a bee?
No, I won't let you see me cry.
You won't know how this is affecting me.
"I guess I just wanted to say hi," I lie.

You know when you call somebody and they are like "What do you want?" then all these thoughts go through your mind but you just say "I guess I just wanted to say hi." Well thats what this poem is. Tell me what you think.

ohh... :( another expressive piece... it's lovely Cool-Not-Crazy... it's just saddening for those who know what you're goin' through at the moment...

as far as structural poetry, this has rythm, timing, and a beat. Emotionally... it's expressive, sad and almost pitable... :huggle:

Who dreamed he was eating his shoe
He woke with a fright
In the middle of the night
To realize his dream had come true." ~ SpongeBob SquarePants :XD:

I really don't know what I should do. Think i'm going to start trying to hide my emotions, because really it hurts more when... when you show your emotions and then get punched in the face. If you just take the punch without any feeling, then you still have your pride. I feel so pathetic, calling him like I did. Not saying bye just to keep him on the phone alittle longer. Well, it won't happen anymore. Because it hurts so much when he says ';please don't start that again, your ruining out whole conversation because all i remember is the struggle to get you off the phone' and the way he said 'I never had anyone need me like this' like I was just... some stupid weakling who was bringing him down. Well I'm not weak. Used to be he wanted me to open up to him and all, but now... Forget it. Because when I'm closed, then nothing can touch me and hurt me. I'm so different now. Michigan has seen the difference in me, and so have I. I don't know if its a good change or not, but at least I'm not crying pathetically and shaking like an earthquake anymore. I don't even blink. My voice doesn't change like it used to with my emotion. Just the same tone all around. But still, I guess the people that want to know what I'm feeling, thinking, or whatever'll read my poems. Because what goes on inside is always the same.

Did you like the metephores and imagery and all?

Sorry about that... just needed to get some thoughts out. I probably shouldn't have put that all on you.

I'm glad you liked it. I don't even know whats going through my mind til i get it down on paper.

No need to be sorry :huggle: my brother once told me, "Never to be sorry if you haven't done something wrong."


All you did was express yourself and share your feelings with the world; that's what art is. :D A form of communication... you didn't "put anything on" me at all... you just communicated and shared what was in your heart; nothing wrong with that at all:aww::hug:
