Sometimes
October 29th, 2009
There is a little girl inside of me.
I don’t know how old she is but sometimes I can hear her crying out.
Sometimes she asks the world to hate her because that’s all she’s ever been taught…
Sometimes she asks the world to love her because that’s all she really wants.
Sometimes she goes ‘La, la, la. I can’t hear you!’ to make the monsters go away…
Sometimes she sings and hums so they can’t get their way.
Sometimes she’s screaming so loud it echos here and there…
And sometimes she’s so quiet I forget she’s really there.
Sometimes she asks me why they broke her…
And sometimes she curses who they were.
Sometimes all she can do is remember…
When all I want to do is forget.
Because sometimes she is me…
And sometimes I am her.
Sometimes.
this looks like a spinning top. that could be a cool metaphor to play with!
I noticed the shape coming out in it but I never really thought about what a metaphor it could be- now that I do though…. ah! The prompt bunnies are coming after me!
wow.
this is powerful stuff.
Thank you, dearie. :) I feel terrible for neglecting my comments lately- I can’t tell you how much it lifts my spirits to see you here.
really like this one hun.
Thankies!
…. i’m speechless.
and btw… how do i follow this blog??
Hello, Renee. :) You can follow this blog a few different ways- I don’t know if you use a feed reader but I find that to be the easiest of ways. If you don’t there’s a little subscribe thing towards the top of my blog just above the sidebar. If you’re using Blogger follow… I’m not sure off the top of my head but let me know and I’ll look it up. I know it’s possible to follow other sites via BFollow but I’ve never used it myself. Thank you for all the wonderful comments.
Well, your writing is splendid; it’s inevitable not to write a comment :).. and i’m sorry, but i still wasn’t able to follow your blog.. and yeah, I do use a blogger account.. ^^
I asked one of my friends how to add a non Blogger blog to Blogger follow. I stopped using Blogger just when they added it but I’m almost certain she knows- as soon as she emails me back I’ll let you know how to add me and thank you once again for such kind words. :)
This is a very powerful poem that stirred up a lot of emotion in me that I thought I had buried way down deep.
Hello and welcome to my blog, Ash. Thank you for the kind words. :) I always have this theory running around my end that I do some of my best work when I’m right in the emotion. I wrote this while trying to sort a lot of junk in my head out. I’m glad you like it- by the way I love your avatar and I added your blog to my links list.
I understand about writing in the emotion, I find if I write what I’m feeling while I’m feeling it, then it’s like I got it(mostly the pain) out of me and left it on the paper. I tend to use my writings as Therapy.
