"If Only"   4 - 10 - 02



if i told you

i wished to die

would you feel hurt

would you cry



if i said

i hated my life

would you wish

there was no knife



if i did

make my life leave

would you feel sorry

would you grieve



if you looked

and saw me

how i felt

what i have seen

then these words

would show unto thee

how it feels

to be me....

*Introverted*
A person predominatly concerned with his(her) own toughts and feelings rather than with external things.

ah, i know all about the "if onlys"...its hard to tell ppl how you truly feel when how you truly feel is that you'd rather just be dead. ppl claim to want honesty but they are happier when you smile and say, im fine...sorry, i think i am going off on my own issues...excellent poem. great job

Well written piece and definately to the point. I've often
felt the same way. Remember, you're not alone. =O)
Keep writing. You're very good at expressing yourself.
