Pretending to be the person I’m not Wondering from here to there Having no sense of true direction No one to hold my hand No one to call me angel Only the empty faces The empty faces I see day to day Hearing their awful mockery Only when my back is turned But with my ears completely open What is so wrong with me, T

Excellent poem, prose, whatever you consider it to be. I think it is wonderful and describes the human mind well. ~Shadow

I have a friend… we are developing a relationship. I don’t know where it will lead us, but wherever it does I will be very happy. We decided a good way to develop an understanding of each other is to ask each other questions (I have done it before in the past and it really does work.). Well, I first sent him an internet survey. I filled out mine first and

On an empty hill side, Somewhere far away. Where the stars shine without a doubt, Is where I’ll live someday. In an empty house, Somewhere bright and new. Where I can wish upon every star, And never have to look at you. In an empty room, Looking at the burning flame. Wondering what I am going to do next,<BR

Wow, you make a wonderful point Moderateman. A man should always respect his spouse... whether she is standing right next to him or not. And calling her a bitch when she is not around is just as degrating as saying it to her face. The false "I love you"s she recieves from her hubby deserves a swift kick in the balls. Wonder point. Good job. ~Shadow

It does sound that maybe your humor is causing a leeway for people to take advantage of you. If you want to be heard, then make it to where you can be. It sounds like this is really bothering you, so speak your mind. It will make things better... If not... than you will be alone. Like me... you will be alone. By holding in how you feel, it damages everything. Look around, there is more than likely people around you who are alone and scar

Just be yourself. I am tired of people posing as people they know they're not. Don't pretend to be a musician... when you can't play music. Don't pretend to be a friend... when you're never there. Don't pretend to be a singer... when you choke on your own words. Don't pretend to be so strong... when you can't take the blame for what you've done<B

It is true, somtimes things happen that you think you can never forgive. It sounds un-Christian-like to say that, but it is true. And I too, like NotsosmellySarah will hold some grudges to the grave. This too applies to my life right now. It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. Forgive and forget, relive and regret. - Very good quote for the situation... but it can be a challenge to follow. Especially when the

Many people have many different priorities. It is something people have to deal with. How well do you truly know this person, is she having problems? Is she hurt and looking for someone? Did everyone turn against her? Those are the usual conclusions that make people bitter. And being bitter usually means they look at everything at a different point of view... and not technically a good one. They tend to overexagerrate on the little thing

What are the benefits of being a vegan? From what I can see, it is a very unhealthy “belief”. Although… I do understand vegetarians who can eat the products from animals. They have a very healthy lifestyle, they get all the vitamins and nutrients their body needs… but might lack a little protein unless they eat beans constantly. They actually might be some

This is just a warning for everyone who puts out bird feeders during the spring, summer and fall: don’t kill the birds. By not cleaning out the feeders once a month, you could allow salmonella to breed in the seed and poison all of the birds (especially Nyjer seeds, which have a high oil content). If that doesn’t phase you, then if your dog or cat gnaws at t

Women are not as seriously thought of as the weaker sex in America as we are in the rest of the world. I think about women who are not as fortunate as I living a life of fear in Bulgaria and Egypt. They need help. That is why Valentines Day is also known as V-Day. V-Day is a worldwide activist movement that raises money for groups trying to end violence

I know the feeling.... I can't look at my ex the same way. When we first broke up, I still wanted to keep the friendship thing going... but he treated me like the biggest "bitch" ever. And the sad thing is he's the one who broke up with me.... for no reason. Looking at him now with someone i thought was my best friend makes it even worse. He is now trying to go back into being my friend. And now everytime he trys to talk to me i

Don’t tell me not to cry, When I see the anger building in your eyes. Don’t tell me you care, When I know you wish me to die. Don’t speak such kind words, Only to gain back my trust. Don’t tell me you really did love me, When we both knew you were in lust. Don’t look at me when you kiss her, Just to see me run an

What is wrong with me? Why can’t I be like her? Why can’t I be the woman of your dreams? What is so wrong with me, That I cannot even be a friend… What is wrong with me? Why can’t I be pretty? Why can’t I be thin? Why can’t I just be perfect? So you can hold me in your arms, And never let me go… Like others did so long

Gloomy nights. The nights you walk alone. Having only your own hand to hold, And oh – how you attempt to act so bold. When the world is resting on your shoulders, And everything you have ever done has gone wrong. So mortal, what do you plan to do with your pathetic life now? Do you plan to live a glorious life bathing in your own feeble mis

Wow, very beautiful... it brought a tear to my eye Zoo. Now, the challenge is to give this to the woman you love. By not doing so, it is like playing an instrument in an empty autotorium... the heart and feeling is there, but for what purpose? You need this person you care so much about to hear your voice. I would like to recomend a book... "Boy Meets Girl" by Joshua

You have much knowledge for only being in high school, I am impressed. And this poem is so true... the human mind works under this dualty. It has the power to create, heal, mend, and help... but also the power to destroy, hate, tear apart, and turn away. You are able to put these concepts into poetry... good poetry... that's a talent, never lose it. ~Shadow<

We all wish that we will eventually meet up with the people leaving later in life... but sadly, it is all up to the person and how they feel. If someone is willing to go back home and "rendezvous" during vacations or summers, then you know the friendship will last and they really care about everyone "back home". Hopefully their coming back is to keep strong foundations on friendships or to weaken any harsh feelings with enemies. I might so
