I am just me

you see a disease
when you think of me
it doesn't even show
though that's all you see

I don't need you to make it better
because you can't
that's a job better
left to the dead

why can't you be honest
and come right out to say
"this makes me uncomfotable
I can not deal with it"

it's okay for you
to laugh with me
considering I'm always the first
one to laugh at myself

however it's easier for you
with all of your fear
to pretend that
I no longer exist


wait a fucking second
this is just me
I am not a disease
though that's all you see

    good poem.....I especially liked the words 'wait a minute'...... so commanding......sometimes I get 'the tone' with my baby, and he knows I'm not messin around......I like to think of it as that voice they used in the book Dune..(I think it was called the weirding way or something)....it's amazing - I just use that tone......very commanding......and he knows I mean business.......I think that's what your 'wait a minute' did in this peom, it focussed everything on tone.....and I guess it's pretty serious.....
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......
  • YEAH! I like how the title links into the last stanza. I like your poem and how it says that it doesn't matter what YOU think, I am just me! :)

    I am not a disease and my disease does not represent me....
    you make me think.
    Thanks....

    if i listened to the actions of the person that i gave my all to
    the one i gave all my love to and all my heart to and all my soul to
    the one i put total belief in...
    then, yes...
    i'd haveto believe i was one of those many people too
    one of the diseased

    and i'm afraid i do believe that way too often.


    none of us should put that much stock in someone that can be so cruel
    no real love is that cruel
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    hey, pris, FUCK THOSE PEOPLE!
    i like how you put it out there...purged some emotions, maybe. get rid of those people.

    now, to the quoted portion - i wish that everyone could fight off those feelings. i know how hard it is. i know how much people want to believe in love and most of the time get fooled into believing in what is in front of them, acting like love. i can't wait to get hit with it, for real...not that fake shit!

    me too

    and as far as fighting it off
    maybe i sound like it but i really don't do a good job of it
    i'm a disease called "i suck"

    did my mood do a dip in 30 minutes or what?

    and that probably made no sense
    blame it on the coronas
    sorry for using up so much space in your thread priz

    that is all

    "don't let the sun go down on me"

    blah.

    i was just reminded of how cruel hearted some people really are...i'm sorry.
