I don't need you

by ElegantlyWasted   Apr 18, 2005


They tell me it will be okay,
That i can make it through
But how can i be strong?
If the strength in me - was you ?

They tell me i am beautiful,
So i shouldn't hurt myself.
But how can i be flawless?
Without you here to help?

They tell me I'm not alone,
That someone is here for me
But how can i be hopeful?
When hurt is all i see?

They tell me to fake a smile,
To cover up my stinging pain
But how i pretend I'm happy?
When I'm really going insane?

They tell me to be thankful,
For having such a great life.
But how can i forget the friendship?
That caused me so much strife?

They tell me to erase it,
Because in time my pain will go.
But how can it be that easy?
When right now - i feel so low.
*---------------------------------------*

So now you have me figured - ??
Well you couldn't be more wrong - !!
Although i struggle to believe it -
I don't need you - to make me strong.

+I am trying to be positive - Because after all, i am the only one who can stop this. It is a bit of a mess - but oh well+

    Hey, it's not a mess, and it's perfect for what u told me on one of my comments. 2 YEARS??? I'm sorry that he turned out to be a loser after all that time. But you're right, u DON'T need losers in your life to hold u down. Well, Press On, Press Forward (that's also what my history teacher used 2 tell us, i'd never know how much meaning those words have) =) You're a strong person, don't ever forget that. Remember that the pain from the past only makes u stronger. Hope U're OK, Kal. Tight Hugs, Much Luv, Best Wishes To Come 2 U...and PEACE! //ari\\
    P.s.-I'll give the poem a 5. I liked the way it flowed and how u used your words...plus how u realize u don't need that person to make u what u already are. ^_______^ Luv Ya
