Why so different?

by abby   May 8, 2007


Walk the walk
talk the talk
be the it
know all
forget no one
forget mortality
sweet embrace
tears were shed
i dared anyone to tear her from my arms
my once everything
my beauty
the one who painted the gossip
withing the walls that i once stood
so now i let slip a slight smile
why so different?
love was my poison
i fell upon its spear
lovely yet disastrous
beautiful and broken
light and dark why should she have been any different?
for i
i was the same as i was taught
even after its death, i stayed
and yet till this day i thank myself
i tore away in time
the strength that i gather sometimes makes me proud
where did it come from?
i had none left
i was consumed
why so different?
i am here today
i think back
i have lived
i have known triumph and defeat
happiness and sadness
fear the the point of fleeing
and yet
anger to the point of pure outrage and blood lust
and still
the question remains
why so different?
i notice now
not then
how i have changed
for the good and the bad
and now i am not afraid
i will fight for my rights
question them and i shall answer
forget me not
never shy from the light
the darkness does and will forever bring you down
only if you let it
fight back
look into my blue eyes and lie
tell me that you do not know of my talents
ask me of the past and now i shall reply
tears or laughter
i will reply
why so different?
because thats what has made me strong enough to rise
face the winds
and the sun
and my past and future
growth is key knowledge is a necessity
common sense is a gift
