Array ( [sid] => 21891 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => confusion [time] => 2003-08-14 09:25:00 [hometext] => it explains itself. i refuse to spoon feed you a summary of my work. read it or move on. stop wasting my time. [bodytext] => this is not where i'm supposed to be
can't remember who i'm supposed to be
i close my eyes, and i can feel it all fade
freezing in the shadow of the razor blade

helping hands and middle fingers
bowed heads and broken knees
happiness, shallow and temporary
the agony of their hell, promised for eternity

confusion, i can't escape it
the extremes bleed together
the only true color left in this world
is the red when the vein is severed

this is not where i'm supposed to be
can't remember who i was told to be
i close my eyes, and i can feel it all fade
freezing in the shadow of the razor blade

shoulders to cry on, knees in the face
loved forever, or until replaced
welcomed in victory, loved by all i meet
suddenly alone, outcast in defeat

eccentric, insane
shaky boundaries at best
acceptance relies
on the size of a breast
feared or adored
the masses decide
if my voice will be heard
or i'll be crucified

confusion, i can't escape it
the extremes bleed together
the only true color left in this world
is the red when the vein is severed

this is not where i want to be
don't care who i was told to be
i close my eyes, and pray that it will fade
warming up to the touch, of my cold razor blade [comments] => 5 [counter] => 143 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

I didn't even read your decrpid poetry, in future you should be more coutrtious to those who YOU wish to read it, if not, keep it in your drawer where it belongs.

well ed, i won't point out the fact that you spelled "courteous" incorrectly, because that wouldn't be very "courteous", now would it? i will, however, point out that you wasted my time, despite the fact that i specifically asked you not to do so. thanks for reminding me why i hate people.
but, i forgive you, ed. after all, you're only human. obviously a human with a third grade education, but a human none the less. thanks for your pointless comment, and please feel free to never leave another one of your grammatical abortions on my doorstep again.

friends forever

P.S. you also misspelled “decrepit”. next time, spell check or buy a dictionary before you start mouthing my manners. i could barely read the drunken stammer that you posted. lay off the sauce, ed.

hugs and kisses

Well... your "author's note" is something that should be put at the beginning of every poem. I particularly hate writing something there, though I usually do it anyway.
It seems so forced and hollow. ***** ***** *****.
The poem itself is touching. I'm emotionly sick right now, and your work helps as a salve. Even though I don't "carve" (or whatever the ***** its called), the skin of this is true inside and out. I would post a favorite part, but it would be injustice to the rest.
I can't enter this without giving you props for your reply to Ed. It disgust me and your comment was great. haha!
