Array ( [sid] => 18232 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Your Not a Goddess [time] => 2003-05-29 23:35:00 [hometext] => i think every1 can kinda connect w/ this poem i think every1 knows some1 a little like this or has been like this from time to time. PLEASE let me know what you think.
[bodytext] => I say to silence but you only shout...
I say to you be still but you thrash around...
I ask you to look at me and you look at your feet...
I ask you to speak but you set in silence...
Why when I speak to you ,you have no reply?...
You expect me to give my thought on every word you say...
Are you that obsessed that you can’t give me just one second because it takes some of your precious time away?...
Well listen now... hear what I have to say cuz baby these words are here to stay...
You don’t set atop the world with a crown on your head...
You may have money, beauty, or smarts...
But those qualities still don’t make you grand...
For in this world of many you’re only like a tiny grain of sand... you’ll be swept away by the tide...
The sea salt burning in your hide...
For I told you those qualities will not save you...
They will put you to your grave...
Drowning in your sorrows, choking on you tears...
Cuz after all these years your qualities got you nowhere...
But a bottomless pit with nobody to help you...
You are your only chance to reach the light in the tunnel... how?...
Admit your mistakes...
Change the way you think...
Listen to people...
You have what it takes...
Your life will be brighter and your burden lighter...
When you except people for who they are...
They will except you also...
Now when I say silence you actually listen...
When I say be still you are calm...
When I ask you to look at me you stare me in the eyes...
Ans now when I ask you to speak ,you speak to me as a friendnot like an obsessed goddess...

I know someone just like the poem above describes...she is my wife...her foolish pride has brought us to our current state, the fact that she can't admit when she's wrong, or simply walks away...yes, I certainly can relate. Great poem!! Keep writing!

This is a really good poem...it's really deep...I liked it a lot...I do have friends like that...although that poem reminds me of MYSELF! I don't really think that being confidant about yourself is a bad thing, if the person is beautiful and smart good for him/her...I’m mean I know what your saying about how pple think they own the world...but hey...if they’re confident enough to go get the world and hold it in their hand (know what they want and go for it) I think that’s a great quality. As far as not listening to you or ignoring you ( I say to silence but you only shout...I say to you be still but you thrash around...) It just sounds like to me your trying to change them...but hey that’s just what I think the poems about...I don’t know the whole story or your situation ...but I did like your poem...thanx
