secrets

a poem about the price we have to pay sometimes

sometimes i feel alone again
but its a habit i'm fighting to break
but apparently it makes me less of a man
cos of the s**t that i've had to take
judged before i'm even known
i should be used to it you'd think
specially when i've got this far
by standing on that brink
i really do my best to handle things
as i take the flack for being human
i don't have that right to complain
cos i'm seen as some mindless hooligan
no friends to confide in
cos they always see me as wrong
and i'm even starting to believe
that maybe i'm something that i'm not
the thing is i kind of understand
cos its been like that all my life
people afraid of the truth
and what's buried behind my eyes
i'm not asking for an easy ride
and if i'm honest i never will
i'm just asking not to twist the knife
when i'm feeling so vulnerable
i don't feel these things for nothing
there's always a reason for it all
and just because you don't see it
does not make me wrong
so ill have my say but again
i wont tell you very much
and so now for trying to reach out
ill have what's left of myself crushed
the good news is well there's a cure
but you'll never know what it is
for that is one of the many secrets
that will never pass my lips

oooh I like this...I am feeling drawn to knowing just what is this mysterious cure you have found. It can be frustrating to be thought of something different then what you are. It is easy to think that we are what we are percieved to be. But this is rarely the case. We are all so much deeper. I personally like to peel back the layers and get to the core of those I know, before laying judgement, but it wasn't always so. It takes a maturity to realize a person might be wrong, and go to lengths to correct it. I enjoyed this, it made me stop and think. Great subject matter and choice of words...:)

Yes. I saw this one before...and I WANT to know the secret!! No, I need to actualy. Tell me please! But yeah, this is a good poem...I HATE the pain in it, but thats how it is, when you are down, often people seem to want to kick you then. I dont know why, but they do. :( Or maybe it just feels that way. Either way, I can d e f i n i t e l y feel the emotion in it.
