Array ( [sid] => 107668 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Red and White [time] => 2005-10-13 17:55:28 [hometext] => this is about a girl who is extremely attractive. since she is so good-looking, the world believes that she must always be happy. however she is miserable and uses wine and pills (hence the title red and white) to numb her feelings. [bodytext] => drop down below the sorrow
find a way to end this pain
my solution creates illusions
playing tricks on my brain
so that for a moment
i forget i care
but honestly,
i hate this game
strangers and passersby stare
unaware of my internal disdain
focusing on a flawless exterior
failing to notice i'm drowning in pain
the struggles within
have brought me here again
this time i think i'll stay
because it's easier to pretend

this poem relates to me, with the hidden problems i have, i hide all of them by putting on a mask, and only very few people know my true stuggles.

thanks for writing this, it means so much to me.

Thanks again,
- Kelly -

I have friends exactly like that....and to some extent, I'm like that myself, not so much with inner pain...just a lot below the surface that I choose to conceal.

Your poem was touching...
