Getting Through : Creative Writing
smooth words | from Rain Child - Sunday, June 11, 2006 accessed 983 times Smooth-flowing words That smile designed to give a glow Of self-content to you So that you’d never wonder Ponder Think Or know Who I am Where I’ve been And how I came to be here now. I play your game I laugh And flatter And joke You’d choke If you Saw Felt Understood Who I am, Where I’ve been Why I learned to play your games So late In life For you innate But for me A show An effort A distraction A normal front to suit your tastes To make you relax Trust Relate Accept Me, who otherwise Would find myself An alien on my own planet A freak A victim The fringe of society A curiosity But I smile and glow So you never know Or even suspect (Though sometimes detect the difference) I can wrap you up in you And in the little daily things Like sports Music And the television And all the stuff That for you is enough But for me Is filled with mystery And clues to you So that I can hide again Behind my brave façade Behind my normal face And in the place I made for me The me displayed for all to see The me I wish I was Or knew The me that relates to you. |

| | | From AndyH Monday, June 19, 2006, 15:27 (Agree/Disagree?) I cannot tell a lie. It's not me. I can't write poetry for shit, the few times I've tried have been embarrassing failures. Most of the Poetry I read goes over my head, I then I feel stupid and get mad and throw things, so I try to tell myself I hate poetry. So whenever I happen upon a poem that I not only understand, but identify with and find meaning in, it pleases me greatly. Such is your poem. I will check out poetry forum. Thou shalt have no other AndyH's before me! (reply to this comment) |
