Looking out my back door..

It sucks..dont bother reading it.just posted it to see my name in print....

To some I m a diamond, to some I m rust For some I m a coward, for some I m brave, Part of me glitters, part is covered with dust Who I really am, to know I crave.

Whenever I m happy, part of me is sad When I m down, part of me is glad The guys who love you, I keep them on the shelf Trying to get that elusive book on the top corner myself

I don’t know why they r mean to me When I give them my all, But life ain’t fair I know No song can have all enthralled.

But all that I ve seen, All that I ve learnt blatantly Is don’t shine your diamonds To people blind nonchalantly..

So as I end this moronic discourse I believe in love, I believe in other silly stuff But as I look at the reflection of me I know I have had enough .

Sometimes you just wish you could break the shell So others could look at the pearl inside And as they would sigh in dismay I bet the shell itself would have cried.

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.

Don't break your shell For outside It's neither heaven nor hell Let the pearl glitter inside Be enthralled with your song The music outside has long gone Great stuff - ultimately we all have to seek Asylum in our Souls. [ Reply to this ]

Sometimes the simplest thoughts convey the deepest feelings and truth. Simplicity is Truth. Thank you for your appreciation and I hope to see more of your "simplicity" in the future - something that we can all identify with. [ Reply to this ]
