When the Getting's Good

You send a conflicting message
At least on this receiving end
You think you're getting through to me
Accuse me of not getting you
But getting you has nothing to do
With how I can't read your mind.
Embracing my strong suits
Whether a joke or sincere
Still sets a precident
Filtering down to all subsequent comments
Making me doubt
Making me question
How is it that my strong suits
Are mentioned in a clear and concise light
But what my value is to you
Must be inferred?
Pardon me for not following along
I guess I forgot my bookmark
I'm not perfect
I've never claimed to be
In fact, I think I tout my imperfections
Hold them up to the light
As if they were my gold medals
Achievements in medocrity, humility
and shame
The emo factors of my life
Weigh heavily on me
Compressing my lungs
Squeezing the breath out
Leaving me dizzy
And stupid with disorientation
I want to be appreciated
At times I don't care where from
I want to be thanked,
Smiled at,
Adored.
Even if fleetingly.
I want to be loved.
By you.
Forever.
Despite how emo that sounds.
I just want to not feel lonely anymore.
Even if you feel you've never left me.
Please understand.

Comments
can I please?
can I show this to the guy? like...THE guy? cause I'm about to kill him if he tells me how much he cares about me, but that he's not dating anyone right now.
Agh.
Fucking boys.
(I love re-reading things and seeing them in a whole different light.)

Sometimes you amaze me. I really love this. I mean I know you're a good writer but I wasn't expecting something like this. Good on ya.
:P
Well good. Never leave you?
That works out well. Can I build a fort under your window then? I might need shelter.
I mean...cheer up emo girl! ^.^
?
Emo crap? From the Anti-emo Girl? Yes I said girl; I thought it might make you feel younger, or at least piss you off. Eh, I guess if I didn't like it I wouldn't comment, albeit a smartassed comment. Happy twentyseventh again dear.
Something For You
Of4er
Opening Our Heads & Hearts ...
You are our Voice
We fear the public
Scrutiny
Questions
Answers
A chance to say what is deepest in our hearts
And yet, connected to you we can hear it
Feel it
Know our trials, tribulations and trails away from now
-and from here
You guide us off the cliff
Away from the dance of danger
And bring us closer to knowing
ourselves
Don’t shy away now
If we didn’t need you we wouldn’t follow
Should we need you there is an answer
albeit a smart-assed one
but one nonetheless
Even if you left our memory would grasp you tight
Zara the west wind whispers
Zara
Zara

"Hey... it's a kind of magic."
fuck. I am on both sides of
fuck. I am on both sides of that right now, at one point thinking that's what this girl is trying to tell me, on the other saying damn, that's what I was saying to her.
Enjoy the struggle you are engaged in through that. I am having a blast with mine. And happy #27.
Happy anniversary of your 25th birthday
Thanks for all the writing you do.
Thanks for letting everyone see a piece of your life.
Thanks for letting me connect with you, even if you don't know who I am or that I'm reading.
All the best this year!

Have a Happy!
Happy B-day Zara! Hope you get lots of loot.
Happy Zaraday, lady!
Happy Zaraday, lady!
You do good things. When you post your scribble, it makes people think. Makes em ponder and consider. It makes folks ask questions. Good things..
Take note of just how many members there are on this site, and how many more are on Myspace that read your blogs. Its a pretty significant number. Seems to me that you make a difference, kiddo.
Well done!
Nice.. Very nice.
Wow. Sounds like you read my mind. I'd like to borrow this poem and write it on someones windshield with a permanent marker. Maybe they'd get the friggin' clue then.
Happy 27th, Zara. I hope your day is as beautiful as you are.....
Hug the midget.

This entry is so deep, that it doesn't strike me as one you really need a peon like me to comment on, so, I'll just say...
Happy Birthday, beautiful lady. I hope you can find joy & love on this day.
Love.
