Falcon2001 Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 The things I do Aren't good enough Neither are the things I say For better or worse I'm drowning slow Never worthy of what I need And I can't take back the things I've said Or do the things I needed to do But I'm always stressed to do the right Even though the wrong thing leads to you. I'm not worthy... Of attention Or the things that I hold dear. I'm not worthy... Of my friends Or the things that I most fear. And it's more than I need All the sacred bindings That wrapped around my heart And keep me small and tame And it's all my fault I live this way But it's for the greater good Chained and broken, though I am Freedom? Never could. I'm not worthy... Of opportunities Or lady luck's kind smile I'm not worthy... Of the praise Or the poems that I create I'm not worthy of all the pain inside Or the hatred that's my fault I'm not worthy of common decency And I know I'll always fall When the world is on your shoulders, Can you see through rosy eyes? My vision is so clouded now By blame that blocks my sight Not handsome enough... Not cool enough... Not fast enough... Not strong enough... Not big enough... Not skinny enough... Not good enough... Not worthy.

Guest Xradion Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 "We're not worthy. We're not worthy."--Wayne and Garth Human being are a tragically flawed species. I ask you, are any of us truly worthy? Plagued by the seven dealy sins, we walk this mortal coil. You may be impressed with others' ability to do certain things, but know that they all have great shortcomings, even if this is not immediately obvious. Man, I myself feel like some kind of fool now. Not the sage fool of Lear or Twelfth Night, but a true fool. Or perhaps it's more of a Quixotic thing. Battling windmills and falling victim to the Duke's cruel games. Perhaps I shall die the day I wake up to reality. Maybe I'll just grow up like Huck Finn. And maybe I already have... Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm not up to the task of constantly responding to these poems of yours, but I like you (in a purely platonic sense, of course ), even if you don't like me. Perhaps because you remind me of a younger me (am I really that narcicistic? Apparently). This is all a big joke, but remember one thing: keep up the writing. It'll only get better with time. Onward, my squadron of young, aspiring poets. Lay waste to this battleground! (It's 2:54AM despite what that clock to the side says, and I don't know what I'm writing anymore, wheeee!!!)

Falcon2001 Posted May 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 LOL, nice Wayne's world reference. And even if I don't LIKE the things you say sometimes, Xradion, I appreciate them more than I can say. Sometimes an ounce of criticism is better than a pound of flattery. In fact, that's almost always true.

Gyrfalcon Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 You are worthy. Now start thinking so, or somehow, I *will* get you enlisted in the Marines, and they can go about 'making a MAN of you', while breaking what little feeble sanity you have left after talking to me too long. *Gyr hopes tough love might work...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
