I don't get to feel the love you feel.
I watch you every day and see the people around you--
They worship you.
I don't get a warm smile or a cold hand;
I don't get anything more than a warm grimace and a cold shoulder!
Why do YOU get love?
Maybe someday I can be who you are
Give up my life and become...your clone...do you think it'll work?
Probably not.
I'd unfortunately still be me and you'd gratefully still be you.
Our lives would be compared and you'd still win their hearts.
You're better than me.
I mean, do I get to feel things you do?
Do they send me comfort and friendly pats on the back?
Ha. Never.
So keep living your life, and keep being loved, but
Do you even know why they love you?
I can't figure it out.
I want to know what magic is in your heart
That makes the girls swoon and the guys cheer
Tell me your secret!
Is it because you wear just enough black?
Because you're emo enough to pull off as sad?
What are you really like?
You are so revered by everyone here, it's crazy.
I want to know what you know, what life you live.
But I can't know.
I've tried talking to you, in case you forgot.
I tried to show you that I see what's inside
But I was lying.
I tried to be a little more like you
So people would want me, like they want you
It didn't work.
Do I get to feel what you feel, see what you see?
Do I get to know what it's like to be you everyday, to be loved?
Do I get to live?

I'm writing this now, so I don't know what it's going to be. I just have a few thoughts in my head, so hopefully they come together WoOt

Okay. It's what I feel about my friend Frankie, because he is loved by everyone. I can't understand how he's held in such high esteem, even tho I know myself that he is an excellent person with a sad, mysterious image.

be yourself and be real,
be yourself not like anyone else... that’s the key...
I like it, it's a good poem :)

It sucks to be a water fountain, someone uses you, then moves on till they're thirsty again. Good writing, REally good description of alienation. Keep it up,
not the aliemation, the writing.

Their joy just amplifies my pain. ---- Fatty drives the bus; great movie.
Anybody want some nice art to hang on their wall? I have some cool traditional scenery and
some experimental prints. [link]

Holy cow, I just wrote this, like, ten minutes ago. Thank you...I don't know who I want to be yet. Not good enough to be me. :)

Somedays I wish I could be like Frankie...I mean, not BE like him, just be loved and revered as he is. It sucks to be ignored, believe me.

I'll figure it out someday. It just sucks to be the underdog when you see the love people are capable of giving. It's kind of a one-sided deal, you know? I love so many people....but I'm like a shadow to them. My theme song should be "Mr. Cellophane" from Chicago.

Reminds you of you as Frankie (the god) or me (the shadow)?
