decision
How do you see into my life like an open book
leading you down into my heart
where I’ve become so lost?
Without a chance of my life residing somewhere else
until you cause me once again to face myself!
(Let me live)
Can only live inside
(Let me live)
Can only stay inside
(Love me)
call my name and save me from my self
(Let me live)
I can't but stay and hide
(I can't break out)
Have to stay and hide
(let me)
Help me know I'm doing what is right
Now that at last I know who I really am
I cannot let her languish
after all she's done to make me real
and let me live.
(Let me live)
Can only live inside
(Let me live)
Can only stay inside
(Love me)
call her name and save me from my self
(Let me live)
I can't but stay and hide
(I can't break out)
Have to stay and hide
(let me)
Help me know I'm doing what is right
She gave me life
(a desperate struggle fighting ghosts inside)
She gave me life
Would have died without her life without her love within me her spirit gave me life when all was lost....
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but she was there in front of me
she's been buried for many years it seems
got to open my heart to everything
without a cry without a voice without a whisper
though she'll only live in here
I know there's something more
she's going to live...
(Let me live)
Can only live inside
(Let me live)
Can only stay inside
(Love me)
call my name and save me from my self
(Let me live)
I can't but stay and hide
(I can't break out)
Have to stay and hide
(let me)
I know I'm doing what is right
She gave me life
(no longer dead, the victory deep inside)
I return that life (if only deep inside)

one of my favorite songs
and you have given me a new reason to listen to it. fantastic job as always
This is so true Drea.
Let me live so I can be who I am inside
Let me show the love I cannot hide
from myself, this girl who is inside
Screaming from pain she cannot abide.
This is a great offering Drea, and thank you for sharing.

What I like the most about your writing is that nothing is hidden. You are completely TRANSparent. Nothing is fake or contrived or STANdardized. You go right for the heart and succeed because you are writing about what we all feel regardless of our gender orientation. Brava sweetie!

Nice
This is very nice. I actually did one listening to In the End by Linkin Park, One night not sure where I have stored at the moment though. Also I would vote on it if when I got to the end of the poem the thing would be up I also had to go back to the homepage just so I could add this comment. So maybe talk to someone about that so people can vote on it and add comments with out the extra run around.

A beautiful, haunting cry from the
heart.
