[hometext] => a poem about one overcomng their past struggles...and seeeing the humour in it
[bodytext] => I'm going to attempt to express myself You can try this too You can be just like me I go through life feeling the same Taking the blame, experiencing pain Cos of certain struggles I can’t extinguish the flame As much as I would like to, I can’t do it If I asked you the same question I asked myself moments ago Trust me you wouldn’t want to answer it If I said I never tried drugs That would mean I lied But why create such a fuss; I’m not the only one I bet you everyone does I go out with friends and they spill drink All over my brand new shirt At that moment I start to think Why do they toast me as the class clown? And cheer as our glasses clink You’re such a retard, not to mention a jerk They might be drunk, but that’s when My nerves start to hurt, and now I'm really on edge Start getting thoughts about jumping off the nearest ledge I must be cursed I seem to open my mouth And make situations worse What is wrong with me? Must be blind Cos I haven't got the intellect to see That I make everyone feel bad around me I can't be free; I'm my own worst enemy So send me down, Lock me up and throw away the key Then nobody can be...just like me. I hear you say don’t be dumb, just chill Listen if I’m dumb enough to open my mouth Then I'm dumb enough to follow Jack and Jill up that slippery hill Some people read between these lines, ignoring the skill Cos my rhymes are unique and stand out like my epilepsy pills But I don't get angry, you can’t even see through this mist How the hell can I write, when I don't even exist Now follow me and believe what you read Do you really want to be just like me? Years ago I took some pills then lights out and O.D. Now do you really want to be just like me? I must be cursed I seem to open my mouth And make situations worse What is wrong with me? Must be blind Cos I haven't got the intellect to see That I make everyone feel bad around me I can't be free; I'm my own worst enemy So send me down, Lock me up and throw away the key Then nobody can be...just like me. I wonder what it would be like if I live long enough to grow old Will my sinful soul be sold, to the highest bidder Who is stupid and bold at the same time Cos of that will my body feel icy and cold Bugger that my body and mind won’t work If my soul doesn’t shiver and jerk I’d slap the guy who bought my soul Awww look at that his name happens to be Kurt And given his tag he works as an I.R clerk I'm about as normal as you, just with abnormal traits When I start to speak my brain is like wait, wait Catching up cos it’s like ten minutes late Can you explain to my brain I should be dead by now Cos I’ve severed a main vain Feeling pain and bleeding heavily Flowing easily down this drain Out in this cold icy rain But why do I still feel alive Oh thank god, just take a breather Hold your breath then sigh Must be so high Cos if you’re not seeing these pink elephants Then neither am I...oh my... I have never been to uni and got a degree Do you want to be just like me? When I’m in the shower I get soap in my eyes and I can’t see Do you want to be just like me? I want to leave this world and be free Do you really want to be just like me? I tie a rope around my neck and jump from a tree Please don’t be just like me!! I must be cursed I seem to open my mouth And make situations worse What is wrong with me? Must be blind Cos I haven't got the intellect to see That I make everyone feel bad around me I can't be free; I'm my own worst enemy So send me down, Lock me up and throw away the key Then nobody can be...just like me By Jay Basey © 2010 [comments] => 0 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 61 [informant] => devils_denial [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
