my preferred list
by Shonda Chrissonberryi wish if only for one day
i could become that selfish person
i don't understand
that person that always
puts herself first
that person that doesn't care
if others are hurting
that person that just exsists
only to please herself
because if i didn't care
then i wouldn't hurt
i would not wear myself thin
my heart would not be weary
i wish if only for one day
i could just tell you
how i really feel about all of this
instead of putting on my happy face
instead of pretending
because if i didn't have to pretend
then i wouldn't hurt
i would not wear myself thin
my heart would not be weary
i wish if only for one day
you loved me back

Great write, but kinda sad too. I guess we've all been down this road before, sometimes in our lives. It's so emotional. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 08/25/07 at 03:22 AM Shon, you've put your heart in your poetry here. I wish there was some way I could feel like you describe too, because too many times I've kept my mouth closed about my feelings for someone else. Yeah...
