poetry

I wish I could be the other me, cos she is bright and funny you see

Its only this dumb ugly they see, but deep down there is more to me

I really hate the othe me, she's locked away where no-one can be

Help me find the other me, cos she's whithering away inside of me.

Me and her have a battle each day, but she always gets her own way

She wants to stay locked away, so its only me I see each day

My husband knows the other me, but he fell in love with her you see

I'm sorrry that she is inside of me, Please go away and just leave me.

She is everything I want to be, so why is she so lost in me.

If there could be just only me, then it would only be me I see

I often talk to her each day, I often say just go away

But she won't go she wants to stay, she won't face the world today.

The other me is here to stay, she'll always be locked away

When I look in the mirror each day, I wish that I could just melt away

She would be happy that she has won, and she could have all the fun

Oh how can I face another day, with the other me still withering away.

Hi I have a 13 yr old who has been diagnosed as autistic, though he fits more into the aspergers bracket to me. After I have ead so much on here and other sites it has prompted me to seek a diagnosis because everything about aspergers describes both growing up and now. I would like to share a poem or ditty not quite sure what to call it. I wrote this when I had just had my firstborn. and its still as relevent to how I  feel now as it was then and how I felt about me growing up. I'll post it as a reply to this message.

oh ok thank you for letting me know my reply got to you, when i can get my poems off my other pc i will put more up i have none on this one and am just leaening how to move things from one to another !! technogly is good though !! and yes anyone please feel free to add poems or any pieces of writings that you would like to, somtimes writing things down can really help to get things off your chest or problems sorted out cos if you write things down you can somtimes see how to make changes for the better to a problem you may have ! bye for now

Your reply got to everyone fine, so glad you were able sort everything out :)

What do we do with broken dreams that hurt so very deep?
Dreams that are made so especially and ones we want to keep
Can we rebuild them desperate to renew, or do we let them fall
let our dreams be forever lost, they were never ours at all.

Whatever we should just stay strong, and take the belting blows
hide our wounds cover the scars, and hope it never shows
our dreams are very special and we don’t want to share
The pain, the hurt uncertainty of what could have been but daren’t.

So take your broken dreams and wrap them in a ball
And screw them up then squash them down and throw them at the wall
Let them bounce from wall to floor and stamp them on the ground
And hope your broken dreams work out the second time around !

For all I am...


Love me for what i am
for what i can't be and what i can
for all my strengths and all my faults.

For all the screws, the nuts and bolts
that hold me together and keep me standing tall
love me for what i am, love me warts and all.

And when life's troubles wear me thin
i'im tired and looking strained
please dont turn your back on me
just love me all the same

oh yes, it would be really nice if other people wanted to add poems or there own or any they may find to if thats ok, poems dont have to ryhme also eveyone has there own individual way of writing poems i have seen some amzing ones that dont ryhme. But if anyone does want to try a poem but would like them to rhyme, I you go into google and type in poetry rhyming dictionary, you will get a real easy one come up and it can help to pop a word in and it brings lots of words that rhyme up so you can end your poems on a rhyme if you want to. But it really dosnt matter if poems ryhme or not. will add another one on soon. and thank you for your repy jim, i am new here im trying to learn as best as i can it said i had to sort my community profile out before i cold reply so i hope this reply gets to you.

Cheers for sharing Elizabeth :)

If other people have poetry of their own to share would you be okay if they added it to this discussion (if they wanted to).

hi will add more poems written by myself and my friend this evening, just for people to read and hopefully to enjoy. bye for now

A light it shone into my life
The day that you were born
I followed it, wher'er it went
From night to rising morn

An innocent born to the world
A part was left above
And all you need to lift your wings
Is freely given love

We built for you a realm to play
We made a world of smiles
And though these feet so tired now
Have walked so many miles

Your light has lit each waking day
And even through my tears
I've known that you're my golden child
And lead me through my years

My task is you, your gift to me
Is all you are each day
So many stories in your eyes
You taught me how to play

Sometimes the work is so, so hard
Sometimes the task weighs down
But when I hear your unique voice
You take away my frown

Your light it shine into my life
Our journey blessed from high
The magic that your spirit sings
It glistens in blue sky

A child like you comes from the realm
Where angels sing their song
You bring to us the breath of God
And none will do you wrong

You're joined to me inside my heart
A son, a friend, a king
You help reveal the true in me
You help my soul to sing

Your light still shines into my life
And will until I die
Then watch my wings of while unfold
And see our spirits fly!

the end
