I think I'd like to go to bed <br />And stay there for the day <br />Wallow in self pity <br />Have courtship with dismay <br /> <br />I think I'd like to drink it in... <br />The sorrow and the 'pain' <br />For every ounce of feeling this <br />I surely must make 'gain' <br /> <br />I shed a tear...from time to time <br />And that I can't deny <br />Just do me one small kindness... <br />Don't ever ask me why <br /> <br />I won't give in completely <br />I've never been that sort <br />When sadness threatens inner will <br />I build a stronger fort <br /> <br />So, please leave me now to grovel <br />As the blackness takes it's toll <br />It may nibble at the shell... <br />But it'll never take my soul! <br /> <br />Dee Daffodil (HW) 01 October,2008<br /><br />Dee Daffodil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-beast-by-any-other-name/
