trapped

Like a moth trapped in a lampshade
My emotions torn to shreds
I wait for you with a patience
I never knew I had
When the world around me falls away
And leaves a silence too big for only me to fill
I reach out for you
but you’re not there
you can’t seem to make the break
it’s excuses only that leave your lips
so alone I sit in my hall of mirrors
a life created within my own mind
waiting for my reality to start
but like that moth trapped in the lampshade
I’ve become a creature destined to die alone.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

  • break out fo the cocoon
    and explore the world
    waiting, waiting for your touch

    for if you never reach out
    nothing will pull you out
    life can be cruel
    when survival is the game

    so take a step
    you won't regret
    all will fall sometime
    it's those that get back up and move on
    who survive and live

    so give what your heart soul can give
    and what love you give
    will come back in bundles
    cuddling you to go on and live

    sometimes it's not that easy. you can be as willing as a whore, but if he's the one in the cage, your hands are tied.

    yes I know
    but look inside
    and see who's got the key
    to untie the knots
    and set you free

  • we all my think that others
    hold the ties that bind us
    yet is only our agreement
    that those ties have the power to do so

    The only reason anything can hurt one
    is because we have either hurt another
    or somehow have agreed to be the effect of another

    The key is be CAUSE, not effect of the universe
    we each have our own world
    and can be control of that, yet it's fun to just let it ride
    yet if we're not careful, turns to suicide

    Take back control, be cause, not effect
    It's easier said than done
    but that's what has to be
    to be free
    and be, yourself

    don't talk to me in poetry. this is my life i'm talking about here. this is not an abstract concept.
    hear my name

  • sorry, sometimes I get carried away.

    What I am saying is this. Only you, have the power to control your own fate, your own destiny, your own feelings, your own life.

    If anyone, and I mean anyone has exerted their control over all these aspects of your world, only you have the power to take back that control.

    The highest purpose in the universe is the creation of an effect. That's a simple yet abstract concept I know but an absolute truth. And many many people unwittingly or unknowingly agree to be the effect of someone one else, and thereby release control of their own world.

    The answer truly is, is to slowly, baby steps if you have to, take back control, by being Cause. By that I mean have good intentions, good thoughts, express good words, and do good deeds.Negative things and negativeness tend to boomerang and implode on one.

    Be Good Cause by having good positive intentions, no matter how much you may want to do otherwise, and you will create good things.

    Again, easier said than done, yet the only way thru a mess, is to go straight thru it without deviation. Confront it head-on and will see the light at the end of any tunnel.

  • Is it a 100 watt light-bulb this moth is bouncing off of? If it is you may want to switch to a 60 watt light-bulb ;P
    Can't you see that there's light in the dark.

    is a hard thing to do.
    You leave a person
    and you also leave you.

    No more poetry, though, Cate. I'll speak to you true.

    I had 10 years of fireworks and stars and stripes and bruises with a man I thought loved me. In his own way, he did. In my own way, I loved him too. But I was running away from myself as much as I was running away from him, when I finally left.

    I'm still finding myself. But I find that, what I do find, is an old sweet familiar friend who went through a lot of pain, and still managed to keep the best of herself to herself....for herself.

    I hope this helps. Peace,

    Bu

    wow, I really enoyed this
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Cate,

    I really feel for you with this read...I have been there, it really hurts to let go...sometimes you have to and things go alot different than you thought they would...I have found though that if the situation is "right" and it is meant to be, even in time, it will be...sometimes change is the only thing that helps...and if the situation is "wrong" and bad for you, you have saved even more grief than you would encounter hanging on...remember - you can't change anyone else, only yourself...good luck to you, I pray that you find much love and peace :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!
