Love me, understand me

Abuse me, rape me

Touch me, underestimate me

You can’t bring me down

Only I can do this

Head in the clouds

Come down from there

Silly girl your way behind

Watch them stare

Only fools falling short in your mind

Watery eyes looking onward

Wipe your tears and run

Faster and farther

Towards the sun

No longer hurting or hating

Full of life and love

A quick gasp and no more suffocating [comments] => 4 [counter] => 218 [topic] => 61 [informant] => mashley06 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

Beautifully written. The flow was great. I liked how you wrote this poem and how you expressed the fact that no one can tear you down except yourself and sometimes that is a powerful thing to control. Bravo.

Take care
