I.
so much to say but no way to say it
no one lets me get a word
each phrase, every sentence
microscoped, judged, found wanting
'can't say that!'
'how dare you!'
'crazy, pathetic, delusional!'
'dangerous!'
'NASTY!'
how about
you walk in my life for a while
see what it feels like
to be me
i have feelings
i have dreams
i have wishes and wants
i have needs
did you know that?
do you care?
do you care?
II.
you are different
you have seen me
for who i am
i cannot explain how you affect me
do you know how my heart leaps
when i hear your voice?
to feel your touch
would be
the beginning and
the very end of me
but as i ended
so would we begin
when the world slept
when the wind howled
when the rain beat down like Hell
tempest-driven by emotion
barriers crashed down for us
we will know then
nothing can crush us
nothing can crush us

Good one J.
-A
Thank you, A.
Hello J! I really like this post. It rings so true. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and I miss you!
Take care, my friend! I'll "see" you soon.
Hugs and Much Love,
Wendy
Emo, and bad too. My 12 yr old little sister could write better "poetry" with her friends after school.
And apparently your "dreams" are for Frank to touch you. "The beginning of the end"?? Please!
Hi Wendy, thanks for the kind words. I miss you too. One day we'll catch up to each other. Are you ready for your 'faaaaaaaaaa-bulous' vacation? Talk about a "winter wonderland"--take loads and loads of pictures, ok? I'M excited, and I'm not even going!
Hi J.
I'm sorry that a place that was once fun is now being denied you.
I just don't understand their constant harping, there, or, here.
*shakes head*
This is your home and you should be able to express yourself, as you wish, without need for selfcensoring.
4:02pm,
Emo is just a derogatory label that rhymes with Nemo.
All forms of self expression, be they song, poem, or art, are based on emotion. Without emotion the creative process would have no drive.
What a boring, grey world we'd live in without them.
J,
Hang in there.

It is your birthday, J???!
Where did that year go??
And no L at home to share it with!?
Could I possibly use any more question marks???
Why yes I could!!!!

Happy Yappy Birthday!!
May you have many more good times, and great memories to make.

Hope you have a super day. =)
