What is behind the words that are said? <br />Are they good or bad are they black or red <br />I can’t hear what you’re saying <br />I can’t read your words <br />Are you mixing emotions? <br />Are you being absurd? <br />I don’t know what to do, <br />I don’t know who to be <br />I don’t know who I am any more <br />All I know is I wish I wasn’t me <br />I have food on the table <br />And I’m asked to take a bite, <br />But will it be a bitter lemon <br />Or an apple over ripe. <br />I hear the anger and I hear the pain <br />Is it from you or inside my brain <br />I’m finding forgiving myself <br />Beyond my control, <br />For the person I once was <br />I was no use at all. <br />I’m stuck in a place where I want to break free <br />From the feeling of hatred all pointing at me… <br /> <br />Karla bell 28th January 2009<br /><br />Karla Bell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pointing-at-me/
