ok another poem

[rikalivet]

ok so i was going through my other journal and i found the last poem that i wrote. Sad that this was the only thing i wrote this semester. oh well, i wrote it on october 4, 2005, so its been a while. Ok here goes:

Mixed emotions,
Confusion that only seems to scatter with the wind.

Who do I trust?
What is this game.
Confusion robs me of my laughter;
Confusion exploits the innocence that I hold tender.

My horizon seems boundless
Yet squandered by the cries from those around me.
I breathe the ocean in
The white cotton continues to smell sweet

I want to understand
I want to be held
To feel the knowledge that I am wanted.

This sickness is more powerful that it seems.

Let them enable the growth
Even if it means to grow apart.
The child must leave while the woman inside me beckons.
