Today I tensed up to write. I'm sitting here and wondering how Someone could ever let All these words just happen? How could there be such a lack Of control over life And the things that keep us? I wonder, who the heck do I betray? And why do I cry the tears For someone else? And why do I blame me because you do? While you lie blameless, ever true.. Must you make me feel this way: Guilt ridden and torn Between the you You used to be And the me I long to be, But instead I get me now.. Basically, just a fuck up.I dont usually like to swear but thats exactly how my sister makes me feel.. or rather.. how I choose to feel because she does.. heck.. this too shall pass (lets hope) Written March 10th, 2002 © on Mar 10 2002 12:35 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
