I AM But I'M NOT........

[should'veknown]

My signature is the first poem I am adding.

[should'veknown]

Everyone looks forward to sixteen,
To get their very first kiss.
At the age of eighteen,
Cigarettes legally adorn their lips.

When they finally hit,
The ripe age of twenty-one.
Most go out and drink,
To have a little fun.

By the age of twenty-five,
Most have settled down.
Going on past thirty,
They dread each birthday that comes around.

Then comes fifty,
Is that over the hill?
Some may never make it,
Others pray they will.

Then along comes sixty-five,
When all their work is done.
And they sit back and think,
Whatever happened to twenty-one?

[should'veknown]

Captured by the enemy,
A prisoner of pain.
Locked in bad memories,
How much longer will I be sane?

Will I ever escape,
What haunts me each day?
The memories so overwhelming,
Help me Dear Lord, I pray!

My lips, they never smile,
Tears fall from my eyes.
My spirit is shattered,
Dear Lord, I ask You why?

[should'veknown]

It's not my birthday,
No special day of any kind.
Just a whole lot of thinking,
Going on in my mind.

It's not to help me,
To get through a bad time.
Just a whole lot of wondering,
Going on in my mind.

Please send me black roses,
I'll never need red.
Please send me black roses,
Because I feel like I'm dead.

Please send me black roses,
But leave out the card.
Please send me black roses,
To make dying not so hard.

I don't want a funeral,
Who would even be there?
Just a whole lot of people,
Pretending they care.

I don't need a special box,
To be laid inside.
My body is the box,
'Cause inside I've died.

Please send me black roses,
I'll never need red.
Please send me black roses,
Cause I feel like I'm dead.

Please send me black roses,
I only need two.
One for who I am now,
And one, for the one you once knew.

I like this....



I'm a target but have no aim,
A propeller without a plane.
I'm the sun but never shine,
A clock without the time.
I'm the wind but I never blow,
I'm a flower that doesn't grow.
I'm perfume without a scent,
A letter left to be sent.
I'm a shoe without a sole,
An answer no one will know.
I'm a song never heard,
A dictionary but contain no words.
I'm a pillow without a case,
Just a tear flowing down my face

Oh....I like this one...so lovingly painfull, Do you have a name for it?


Captured by the enemy,
A prisoner of pain.
Locked in bad memories,
How much longer will I be sane?

Will I ever escape,
What haunts me each day?
The memories so overwhelming,
Help me Dear Lord, I pray!

My lips, they never smile,
Tears fall from my eyes.
My spirit is shattered,
Dear Lord, I ask You why?
