Array ( [sid] => 100153 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Search For Nothing [time] => 2005-07-05 02:46:55 [hometext] => It is hard to explain this feeling: You believe something is there, but you don't know what it is. You will give up everything for it. It may not even be a person but it is something important. The problem is... what you want is fake and isn't there... [bodytext] => I'm held up by my glass legs
Will they shatter?
I'm hidden by my own pain
Can you find me?

Searching for something that I've lost
I'm too far under
I don't have one chance for mending
I'm torn asunder
I know now what I have become
An immense blunder

My screams are ready to begin
Do you hear them from within?
I know you're out there to be found
But something has kept me bound
I'm broken which I know you see
I can hear you cry for me
Though you're so close I know it's true
I'll never get to hold you

This isolated world of mine
Is not all I bear
For so long I've been forgotten
Living with despair
The only thing I hold so close
Isn't really there

You do exist in my mind
Pain directs me
I believe all that is fake
I search for naught [comments] => 9 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 48 [informant] => AmyLee4Ever [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 29 [ratings] => 6 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Jodi you've penned down how alot of us feel at times. A sad, but powerful write. You're a budding flower Jodi. You have your whole life in front of u. Writing helps us release the built up tension within ourselves. It's great how u can pen down ur emotions. Well done Jodi
Hugs,
dreamer
PS who is so proud of Jodi :-)

i really liked this poem except for two things
1. Your rhyming was going up and down thru the whole poem, either keep it or lose it.
2. the ending- actually the very last line doesnt really flow well. but maybe thats just me.

I am held up by my glass legs
Will they shatter?

beautiful expressions and nice display of emotions. 4/5
good work.
