Another Poem

[clovernohime]

Well, I guess he got me on the writing kick again, so here's a poem i wrote. i wrote two last night that i haven't put up yet, i might do that soon. anyways, enjoy:

Better
So you think your better than us, eh?
You offer hints, riddles, whatever it is
that you think you are blessing us with,
offer us the "pleasure" of getting to know you.
Say you know we are strong,
while you dangle us like
puppets from strings, suspended,
waiting for you, telling us we are weak, and
pulling us up and holding onto us
only to let us fall so far.

so you think you are better than us?
so you think you can cure
what is wrong with the human race?
you think that you are not effected,
that your life isn't a mess,
that we may have more to learn from you
than you have to learn from us.
you think that life is useless, and
you observe rather than live. you choose
not to become involved in life,
you don't form real relationships,
you never really let us love you,
and then you wonder why we grow so tired.

so you think you are better than us?
so you think that when we leave we are
discarding you, that we are bored,
that we are not worth your time?
well, maybe we are and maybe we aren't,
and maybe we care and maybe we are just bored,
but maybe that was never really the problem.
maybe if you weren't so scared you would have grown,
gotten to know us for real, gotten to live
instead of watching and making your deep musings.
and maybe now i wouldn't be writing these letters,
leaving you and your advice behind,
like you always said people do.
but like you said, i have not been strong. and i
have let you dangle me on strings like a puppet,
playing with me and then letting me go,
and let myself break further.
but maybe i am stronger now, and i won't
sit by and watch it happen any more.
you said it, i believed you, just like always.
and now if you're alone, who do you really have to blame?

so you think you are better than us?
you think that you are better off without us,
that you want to give up on us all?
you think that you will be better
when you are on your own and don't
think about us anymore?
you think your care is waning and
you don't want to deal with people?
guess what.
i think you just got your wish.

let me know what you think if you want to. i'm gonna take off for now. be back later. bye.
