[hometext] => I suffer from stress... I guess this is what this poem is about
[bodytext] => That tap tap tapping of your fingernails Is really getting under my skin And if you hum another broken tune I think I'll go insane Please You don't know what it does to me When you grit your teeth Or when you pat me on the head If you could see the darkest thoughts Of twisted wrecks of broken men And your face lying ruined in the sand You'd stop Please stop Don't look down on me again I can't bear it I hate the empty face you force me to show Take me seriously Forget the giggles and the dirty lines And see me, finally, as an intellect A mind A soul Just this, only this, no more You don't have to like me, applaud me, encourage me Just treat me like I exist And I won't have to push this pain down anymore There'll be riots in the streets tonight A misplaced anger set alight Because this feeling The need to rip your eyes out Is taking hold of me And as I start to shake and boil The pain starts to look good to me It's either my flesh or your flesh For my nails to rip and tear And I'll never be hated For hurting myself [comments] => 1 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 61 [informant] => nobodysaidlifewasfair [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
