Sad Letter

edited November 2005 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
I wrote you a letter
a sad letter it was
bad things, unhappy things
asking you to help me

I know there's not much you can do
you're only human
but all I need is a shoulder
please be my friend now
you don't know how important you are to me

will you believe me?
this is not an act
life is really hard now, too many things for me to do
this is an end of a chapter in my life
oh, help me get through

    I don't know, it was pretty discriptive, i knew what i was in for before i even opened the thread, so I think it was a pretty good title :)

    titles are almost always difficult for me. I never seem to get them right, you know. so this is nice to hear. :)

    i hate giving things titles. i normally just grab a word or two from the poem or make up something descriptive or sometimes just pluck something completely random out of thin air :)

    I know!!!
    good advice. ;)

    with poems it's kinda easy. compared to giving titles to prose (short stories and so on). that's horrific! :eek:
    cause titles are so important.

    eMMI have you got Bi Polar Disorder


    please don't think i am making light of your poems thay are just poles apart and it freaked me out to see them apear at the same time


    fucking great stuff though

    hmm. I've never been diagnosed. ;)
    no, I don't think so.

    I don't think you are making light of them, I'm not surprised. :)
    well, the poems were written at different times.. both of them today but like hours apart.. ( :D )

    how I feel depends dramatically about what I'm thinking at the moment..

    and thank you. :)

    I hate it when you can feel so high one moment

    and one little thing can bring you right down and you get burried neck high in the brown stuff.......

    when that happens i lose my identity - just forget who i am ... like an earthquake ... momentary amnesia ... due to a terrible event

    I know. I get upset really fast. my friends don't get it..

    hm. you forget who you are.? wonder if that happens to me too.. maybe I lose my memory about that.. ;)
    but really, it's.. devastating. :mad:

    Are you bipolar? I would think the ability to flip a switch like that would be good creatively but torture for the person.

    I liked the poem, it was really honest and open, I hope he is there for you also. I hope things look up for you soon too!

    i aggree.....
    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

    hmm. flipping the switch. at least to me it doesn't come consciously.. meaning I don't flip that switch. but to me I guess it isn't that "dramatic" either. I just can get angry very fast and also calm down and be really happy fast too.
    I guess you could call it a temper. :)

    thank you, I hope he's there for me too. :o
