A Brighter View of Me
By openureyes
I understand that being in my life is not always an easy task
I have a way of pushing people to there limits
I really mean no harm
most of the time at least
but somehow you always give me the benefit of the doubt
I tend to say I will
even if I know I wont
I tell you that I am fine when you ask how I am
or I may say that this time's different
you know me enough to clearly see I'm lying
but the point is that you still care enough to ask
I live in a world of chaos
and self inflicted pain
The rules are always subject to change at any given moment
others may judge and point the finger
and you are there to quickly take my hand
sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
and I'm miles away from sane
afraid to show my true colors
or to let anyone or anything in
You assure me that my beauty is great
and comes from somewhere pure
Sometimes I let the negativity get the best of me
I look within and see darkness in my soul
I wonder what it is you see in me
Why cant I be more like you and find a reason to love me?

this reminds me of a scream in a crowded area and no one hearing, or the polar opposite, stranded miles from shore. though different situations, the isolation remains the same. hope you can find your way out of the darkness. kudos kiddo.

It's like you took thoughts from my mind and put them onto my computer screen.

Ironically the person with the brighter view of me is my best friend, who happens to be gay. What I love the most is that our love has nothing to do with sex or surface garbage. Dont think i can imagine anyone else loving me like him :)

Very honest indeed. It's hard to love yourself and understand what others see in you when you can't even look at yourself in the mirror. I do to same thing when it comes to pushing people. I guess I like to know my limit. Well written.
