<div class="post_title">
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is this all there is? Is this life for me?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seeking acceptance through supremacy</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pushing the boundaries, aiming so high</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While deep inside feeling I'm living a lie</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They crowd me with worry</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(I'm faulty you see)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While they prod and they poke and they analyse me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They say the right words</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They use the right tone</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I feel like I shoulder the weight on my own</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do I need to be perfect?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do I need to fit in?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will they like me as much if I try not to win?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I don't win first prize</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or I fail to impress</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will they all turn their backs and love me much less?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm confused and I'm angry, depressed and in doubt</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They can't fix me with words</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They can't figure me out</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do I disappoint them with my self expectation</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or that all <b>won't </b>be well, with some grand revelation</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well I might not be quite.... who I hoped I would be</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I'll get there one day.. I'll be proud of me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a bumpy old road</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the bumps make you strong</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And one day I'll see how far I've come along</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That the man in the mirror has a friendlier face</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who knows life isn't all about winning the race</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He'll smile back at me..</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stand his ground and walk tall</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having won the most challenging contest of ALL!!!!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Why does this girl on the train sit and cry</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Why do her tears roll down from her shades</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">She’s hiding the sadness in the hope the pain fades</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Her tissues are wet and the ends of her hair</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">This was clearly too much for this girl to bare</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Yet silently sits with the tears on her face</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">What on this earth did she do to deserve such disgrace</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Is this all there is? she wonders in doubt</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Is this worthless existence really all I’m about?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">My drawings are meaningless verses ignored</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">My family and colleagues seem nothing but bored!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So what is there left for an artist and writer</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Who once stood her ground who once was a fighter</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Too trusting and gullible now on probation</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Struck down by rumour and false accusation</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So thanks to the people who nailed down my fate</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">To the abuse I received to the nights I stayed late</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">To the care that I took to the deadlines I made</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">To the loyalty, commitment and care I displayed</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">You did me a favour as I finally see</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The people I worked with didn’t care about me</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">And so my advice to the follower on</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Remember the reasons they wanted me gone!!!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">This poetry I must admit has left me quite perplexed</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">As I read it I see nothing but assorted lines of text</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Being taught a little different by my father who instructed</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">That poetry was meant to rhyme or else not be constructed.. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Yet, I can't help but wonder what had come of this fine rule</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Creating lines of poetry without this useful tool</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">It seems this style of writing has long since been mislaid</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Words no longer flow as lines, rhythm seems to fade</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">And what of days past long ago, when lines of similar sound</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Were used to tell great stories, of heroes homeward bound</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">With structure in their verses, well thought out with a title</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">To enlighten every reader giving cause for grand recital</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">For a poem it is not if it lacks a basic rhyme</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Like a song without it's notes, or a beat without it's time</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">As though the very sun could shine without it's heat</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">As verse that doesn't rhyme simply wouldn't be complete!!!</span><br />
