From Head To Toe

by Just Sierra   Mar 12, 2005


These black clouds aren’t moving
They’re just pouring the rain
I’m soaked in my misery
And every inch of the pain

Sometimes I walk alone
Trying to wash away
The sins that I’ve done
They’ll never go away

I drench myself
From head to toe
Trying to wash away
My misery that’ll never go

I walk for hours
Staring at the all the passing cars
Basking beneath
All of the darkened stars

Smiles are just masks
Who hide who we really are
Cutting is just an escape
That leaves a mark or scar

And I wear both disguises
To hide who I really am
You’ll never get to me
The pearl in the clam

You’ll have to break me
To find me
When you’re done with me
You throw me back in the sea

There I’ll drown
Just like I am now
Broken, miserable, and despaired
Making myself a new vow

I’ll build myself up
Don’t rely on anyone
Because people can change
And secrets can be undone

Greediness is a common curse
Its almost every where you go
And as I walk in the rain I notice this
Because it fills me from head to toe

    Thank you both. I harbor no ill feelings toward you or Lance, Victoria. I'm glad that you're open minded though, and thank you for your comment on my poem, both of you.

    Shannon, lol, I love that line most, but I do know that this poem is crap, I wrote it in like 5 minutes, so thank you both for being really nice about it, lol. Shannon, you're too sweet. lol.

    Thank you both again!!!

    Very very good poem i love the flow it has.
    I think that if Lance didnt like my poem then he shouldnt have said anything because to be fair it wasnt even constructive criticism and i do honour people's opinions, but he was harsh, but thank you for telling me that and there are no bad feelings on my part at all!!
    Again fab poem.

    take care

    I walk for hours
    Staring at the all the passing cars
