Melissa Knepp Poet Rhyme

Dishonest Liar

To be myself I wouldn't dare
to let the world see
to show them who I really am
is too hard for me
I feel the loneliness
coming on like a wave
the powerful tide I can't control
is making the real me impossible to save
so I keep drowning, deeper and deeper still,
If I had any guts at all
I would use my free will
God gave me a choice
in this important matter
but I chose to be a phony
And let the real me scatter

Tara Jennings October 17, 2010 at 11:29 PM grief is vast and encompases so much. we grieve so many things in life for our selves and others, but grief is a raging fire that burns every thing but what we mourn away. The edges of the grief never goes away but in time when we think we can bear no more the pain itself becomes a motivating strength to help us reinvent ourselfs from the scattered ashes, self preservation or survival instincts.
