I havent wrote a poem in a long time, but i had like a 3 minute depression and wrote this
Sometimes i want you by my side
sometimes i want to be alone
sometimes i just feel so strange
A side of me youve never known
Secrets that haunt me in my mind
Secrets no one will ever see
The dark confessions of my past
I am the fallen leaf of my family tree
Sitting at the table with a smile on my face
these are the easiest lies to tell
A scarlet drop as i clear my plate
Testament to my living hell

We all dream, you might not remember it, you might remember it vividly
it might be scary as hell...
a euphoric paradise
or somthing you laugh about and tell nobody.. haha
In dreasm why do we fail?
We face an adversary, whatever it is, and we rarley overcome it
why? why in our subconcious do we fail?
what is holding us back from reaching our goals?
its simple really.
look in the mirror. what do you see?
My hair looks tarrible today!
ah i need to lose wieght
my makeup looks terrible
i have tiny girl arms
we doubt. we subconciously destroy ourselves.
finally, i gave up
I looken in the mirror, the imperfections staring me down
and i didnt give in
i dont care, i am me. and i like who i am
and the dreams changed
out of the corner of my eye, from down the alley i saw him. He was running, his dead down, one arm on the sheath, the other on the handle. I did not have to think of what to do, instinct was my only defence. He pulled the sword from its sheath, holding it above his head with both hands. he broucht it down in an instant, barley missing ym left shoulder. i had jumped to my right and hit a pile of garbage cans hard. He jumed strait back, and onto a dumpster. He did not look human. his face hidden in shadow, his body distorted by thick robes. I could see his eyes. the moonlight in his eyes shined like the very fires of hell.
He lunges at me again, the sword gracing my side and sinking deep into the garbage cans. i started to run down the alley as he struggled to free his weapon.I glanced back to see him still wrestling the blade free. his ferocity had given me time to esace. i looked forward, the exit to the alley was close, and i glanced back once more. he was nearly uppon me, me jumped past me, swinging the sword at me, this time it pussed just above my head. i droped tired to stop and turn. He leapt against the wall, and catapulted himself infront of me. i stood, imobilized with fear.
He stood strait up now. It became aparent he was much taller then me. he walked slowly towards me, in long silent steps. i feared the worst. i felt the end creeping toward me. But i could not accept this. I had faught and won against death before, i would not let this happen. I felt my stomach clench, and my insides seemed to grow hot. my muscles all tensed. I cant let this happen, i wont let this happen! the anger i felt was palpible. he raised his sword, i saw his face, it was hard and dark, but it was just another person. He and i were the same. He brought the sword down towards me, and i raised my left arm to block it. It came down hard on my arm, Slicing a wide gash from my wrist to my elbow, but it had stoped. i felt the anger, the andrenalin, the urge for self preservation swell up inside me. I pulled my right hand to a fist. i looked into his eyes. There was a desperate confusion in his eyes. He had not expected resistance. The prey became the predator. i forced my fist hard into his stomach. as it hit he gasped for breath. He staggered backwards, hes hands on his stomach. his sword dropped to the ground. The fear was aparent. You could see the look in his eyes that he had so commonly put into the eyes of others. i picked up the sword in my right hand, and looked at my blood on the blade. the dark read blood, the shining silver blade. It was so dark yet so beautiful. i looked at his once more, gripped the handle firmly, and swung at his neck.....
Self confidence saved me. Its as if once i was ok with myself, my subconcious believed in my too.
strange is it not?

Wow. That's amazing.
I'm shocked at what a fantastic writer you are, I could really 'see' everything you were writing about. You're my hero lol
I absolutely believe that self esteem is incredibly powerful, and it is important to accept the way you are. lol I really need to work on that, but you, my friend, are an inspration. I'm serious! You're great :D

i agree with miss mandie. youre writing is insanely amazing. you had me zoned into that completely and i could 'see' it all. very good babe. i think that youre right about the self confidence thing. it really does make sense. my favorite line in this was 'and looked at my blood on the blade. the dark read blood, the shining silver blade. It was so dark yet so beautiful'
i dunno why i love that but i do.
