CHAINS

Contributed by karoody on Wednesday, 8th October 2008 @ 06:45:59 AM in AEST
Topic: anguished



i can paint my soul different colors
if that's what it takes
for some peace around you
i've tried all my life
to know compassion in your world
it's almost funny
the things we'll go through
for the ones we love
but i stopped laughing
because i'm feeling sick now
and it's getting tiring
living this lie
just to see you smile
when you don't even know
what color my soul really is

Kara,

I know how hard this is. I understand your feelings deeply. The feeling of heart sick, that is the hardest.

Hugs
Michelle

Do not live the lie there are some you will never make happy. You be the person that you are the problem rests with them hun. Besides, dont sweat the small stuff till you sit on a tack!!!! ROFLMAO

This one speaks volumes!!!! It makes no sense to give it your all in any type relationship when the other person or people can't even ever take the time to get to know you. It's very unfortunate when that happens and it's sad... but true. Some people really suck. You don't deserve any of that ****. You are an awesome caring sweetheart and don't ever forget it.

Once again, you have captured so much emotion in such short verse. Powerful!

Loves ya to infinity and beyond.

*freaking huge hug*

Tim

Dearest Kara,
I know it's hard hun, but I have seen how much
of a strong woman you are. You are incredible.
Don't let anybody hold you back sweetie. You
are a wonderful sweet soul who deserves so
much love & respect~ People can be so cruel,
unkind and very selfish. It's your turn to shine
my dear friend. Take the spotlight and don't look
back.
A well captured emotional piece of writing.
With the utmost admiration & love,
dreamer

so reading this seemed very cryptic and had me wondering if I know who you're talking about. Either way I see you're looking for understanding and so far in my life I've yet to find it even among my very best friends. But life is that journey of searching and some are more cautious than others not to bruise or ruffle feathers along the way.

you are who you are Kara and you shouldn't feel the need to pretend to be something you aren't even to put a smile on someone's face. Those real friends will stick around even if it seems like they deserted you it make just take awhile for them to come around. Stay strong! Love ya.

wow, kara. The last two lines are TREMENDOUS! And so relatable. Damn.
I wish like heck you didn't have to endure this kind of thing. I think you
have more strength than most people I know. It is wonderful that
you can express your emotion so seemingly effortlessly. I hope it helps,
even if just slightly. ^_^

*hugs*

It will never stop astounding me what we'll go through to just be near someone that we love. The things that we will put up with, say or do. This prostration to some would signal a need to acknowledge the other, but not all get the message. They see it as weakness, or even just plain foolery...
Always be positive...Always be yourself...Your reward will come....
Great write as always Kara!

" and it's getting tiring living

this lie just to see you smile

when you don't even know

what color my soul really is "

A powerful emotional relese

the above verse conveys, an

ironic twist on the preverbial

caml before the storm, in this

case, it seems to have come

after the storm, A beautiful

write even though sad . . .
