Tobestrong // Lost:Ode to Insanity

People say I’m lucky. I don’t know whether that’s true.
People say I’m strong - tough as nails, unbreakable like steel.
But -
I’m unsure if that holds true.

I’m scared, and I hide beneath my smiles -
I fear of the uncertain future,
Of things left unsaid -
And I cower underneath my mask.

I scoff at the words ‘You’re fearless, so certain - ‘

We know you'll be fine, but we're here anyway should you call.

I love your poetry but the fact that you do very well writing angst makes me sad, as always.

I keep saying that to myself - it's my mantra, as always. It's a bit hard to maintain a smile here, but when I'm with you guys, it becomes genuine and real. *hug*

I don't know why my poetry veers off like this I do nice poetry when it's sad and dark. Weird desu. I actually like Lost, and I'm a bit in awe that I managed to write something like that. Although I do churn out happy stuff like my lovelovelove. ♥ Writing makes me feel a bit better.

sweety everyone writes nice poetry when sad/angsty/etc. it's because of the raw feeling :)

Ah, I wish I could churn out nice stuff like this when I'm happy, then. :)

Dang...you do so well with sad and dark poetry ^^; -meant that as a compliment- But, anyways...afjlajldkja this is just so intense and that's rare these days.

-holds your poetry up like the Holy Grails of words-

Ah.. my friends will tell you that sad, dark and angsty are my areas of forte. D: I've never learned to do happy the same way I could do dark. ;0; I think I'd have to be happy myself, or just train myself to do it. HAPPY THOUGHTS, WOMAN! HAPPY THOUGHTS! ;0;
