i love you not only for what you are but for what i am when i am with you


While you picked apart my outfit
Because i wasn't one of you
Before you saw me cry
I pushed everything down inside And your laughter faded by
As you disappeared down the hall
Then i let a burning tear slip

I hid inside a room
The very next day
Prepared
And ready
When you walked in
I felt unnoticed
I slashed and winced
And did it again
Until you heard me cry
I revealed myself

While i created pain
To mask the actual
I stared into your deviled eyes
As if i would last any longer
The guilt took over and you dialed 911

Wow, that;s emotional. It's really impressive that you could write a poem so deep when it isn;t even about you. This is clearly something you feel strongly about and it comes through in the poem. :)

This is a very deep and heartfelt poem. You did a wonderful job, especially at the beginning. The end was a little heart pounding, the words were just vauge enough, myserious enough to really get to a person, really make them fearful for the poem's speaker. Great work! I may noy be a bully, but sometimes we are ALL a bit of jerks. Sometimes I wonder how far I would have to go to really get to someone, have I ever gone to far without realizing it? Poems like this always get to people like me. I have friends who used to be jerks to me, an di know now that their teasing or sarcasim is just their humor and they know how far their humor can go. But still, the fact they couldnt tell at first always scares me.
