To be alone <br />not with the <br />crowd <br /> <br />To stand alone <br />no one to hold <br /> <br />Not to cry over <br />the silence <br />not to complain <br />that everyone <br />runs away <br /> <br />Hard to be <br />silent when <br />your suppost <br />to be loud <br /> <br />Hard to be <br />warm when <br />your sitting <br />in the freezing <br />cold <br /> <br />To learn <br />to be calmly <br />insane <br /> <br />To have <br />temptation <br />and not <br />take it <br /> <br />I am not <br />to break hearts <br />but to do <br />nothing breaks <br />mine <br /> <br />Reasons are <br />wondered <br />questions <br />pondered <br /> <br />Acusations <br />screamed <br /> <br />Hard to <br />live alone <br /> <br />Hard to love <br />again <br /> <br />To hide my <br />love behind <br />shadows <br />of broken <br />pieces of <br />heart <br /> <br />To be <br />self content <br />I must stay <br /> <br />Alone I must be <br />this is not the <br />days for love <br /> <br />My act is not <br />together <br /> <br />My nose is not <br />clean <br /> <br />Hard to have <br />that look <br />again in your <br />eye <br /> <br />My mask lives <br />again <br /> <br />Alone I am <br />again <br /> <br />Self content <br />I am not <br />need no pity <br />I have to do <br />this on my own <br /> <br />I will love again...<br /><br />Ian Zeller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-content/
