shiver thats beautiful. it really is. so sad and haunting. i love it cause i can relate to it.

Steph... I feel reflected in each one of your poems, they do really touch me inside, and I love them. You put your soul in them, and they show how beautiful person you are.
I can't help to relate myself to this one too, but I will have to disagree with you: "It is NOT your fault"...

I love you

Pieces



I'm sick of being
broken,
scattered across the floor,
just for me to gather up the pieces
-the pieces of my smile
the pieces of my heart-
and attempt to glue them
back together...
when all I really want to do
is fall,
to collapse upon the ground
and cry,
to hold myself together -
unable to shatter once again.

I cannot break again.

I'm feeling way too much...

-too much pressure,
too much pain,
such a suffocating game-,

but I can't stand to feel
too little...

-too small my hopes,
too small my dreams,
just not enough for anything-

Please,
won't you forgive me?
My heart's exhausted
from this war,
of which it sees no end,
crying,
pleading,
begging me...
to just lay down,
to just give in.

For I cannot stand back up...
just to break again.

youre so talented you know. i can really relate to your last piece. just like you said you could relate to mine, i guess we're going throught the same kind of thing at the moment....

be strong. someday... somehow... things will look up. for both you and i, i hope.

meanwhile keep venting into your songs. even thought they are stemmed from a bad thing they are truly beautiful. they really really are

*hugs*

I totally agree with alone!! You are talented.. Your work is one of a kind!

Steph, you are really talented. You are so good at expressing how you feel through those words. You really feel like that, and it's not a load of crap, and it is beautiful. The way your words fit together and explain so much emotion. The ugly part is that you had to go through all that stuff. I'm so sorry Steph. I love you so much and I'm here for you. Thank you so much for everything you've done. I love you.

*Hugs*

Steph... I do always when I feel kinda bad, come to your thread to shelter from the thoughts... and your poems do always do the work of taking care of me, of making me feel relief...

I love you Steph, and I just wanted to say that again.

I can really, really feel each one of your poems inside me, they are so wonderful, so full of feelings, just amazing... there is no single one I do not like, and neither no one that does not make my soul feel so good, so normal again.
And the urge of hiding, becomes smaller when I go through your thoughts...

Just that...

I love you
*hugs you forever*

A Moment of Peace...

Floating with the wind
along this abandoned shore...
I cry inside the darkness
that I never have escaped -
for the monsters came so early,
and I noticed them too late.

There has to be a place...
where I can drift into the light,
where I can lay down and not exist,
nor the demons
of my mind.

Could the way to get there
be through the clouds above?

Or is it somewhere underneath
all this dirty flesh?
Maybe just a pocket
inside my soul,
inside my head...
somewhere that my heart flies free,
and the sun will never set.

But shadows I wish to keep,
for this life and beyond -
because without any shade at all,
the good cannot be sought.

So please,
I pray,
I pray...
let me find a little light,
even if just a spark...
whether it lasts forever,
or even just today.
