From where I stand now
I can see
I'm not your star
and never will be

You've started buring me in the sand
and even though you see my hand raised above the ground
hoping you would reach out and help me surface again
you ignore the plea because it's only me

I do not shine as bright
or make you gasp with anticipation
I do not make you want to scream out to the world..

Clasping my hands to my face
feeling the trickling streams of tears trying to make their way down my face
I remember the affections you've down played for the sake of sparing the feelings of another

I realize,
I'm not your star and never will be

This is sad beauty.

It really spoke to me, the athmosphere you set from the first stanza, the repetition indicating that it is like a neverending circle, evoking a feeling of "no escape".

It is beautiful, and yet so unbelievably sad.

I hope it is not something you have to go through.

I've been made to feel that more than once - it sucks (to put it mildly).

This is part one and yes, it's a horrid feeling most can relate to.

Amazingly written. Great words that stir with emotion. It's "burying."

Here's my retort:

Change your perspective
And you will see...
You have always been
And will always be...
The North Star to me.

The North Star is, of course, the brightest star in the sky...but it also points the weary traveler back home.

Hey, CS!

Yeah, and don't ever allow anyone to make you feel that way.

You know what, Teasel?

We're too nice. Maybe if we were loud, vulgar and sexually explicite, we'd be more attractive? You know, like how how guys say girls like bad boys?

But then again we won't be true to ourselves. For some reason people associate the word NICE with boring which is a big fat lie. And then you get the ones who complain they want someone who's honest, faithful etc but when they have it, it isn't good enough either!

Argh, ranting now.

All this makes me think of Adele's song - Set Fire to the Rain.

I love it

I just wanted to make sure you understood the part about pointing home as well. You are quite the antithesis of boring!

Pain happens when we need to listen to something.

Beautifully written. Reminds me of how I felt in the past Venus retro.

quote:

A little late, but I have to say I disagree. I think what's attractive in a person is being themselves. And plus, being 'loud, vulgar and sexually explicit' sounds like they're suffering from histrionic personality disorder.

Thanks, Alma and lol.

It was just an example of what seems to get some mens attention and yes, some of them actually find it attractive.
