a different angle
trainer on one foot
the other a sandle
there's no middle
no way out for me
no rid of this curse
for I've never felt better
and I've never felt worse
because the balance is here
but the balance is smiling
and the balance is fear
no comfort from whining
the mouths not to feed
an undesireable need
so now I must grieve
instead of achieve
but just for the moment
and just for the time
until my mind
falls back into line
because you work at him
and work him thin
so he can be
what you want to see
you break him down
and hide the frown
place on a fake smile
for all of the while
because you can mould him
sure you can
you can turn him
into a man
you can brush his hair
and wipe his nose
until he'll admits
what he knows
but when he matures
and when he grows up
don't be surprised
when he turns and sighs
and says he doesn't need you
any more
his hair's tidy now
and you're just a bore
don't worry my dear
if you're feeling confused
because truth be told
you're just being used
because once you have made him
and once he's complete
do you think that he'll need you
to massage his feet?
do you think that he'll want you
to talk through the night
about all that happened today
do you think he'll listen to what you say?
he'll drift away
and think of his day
of what he'll achieve
all on his own
so as you giggle naive
down on the phone
he'll be glad to say
he did it his way
with no help from you
because he's complete now
so when he grows up
and stops all the races
he won't need you
to tie his own laces
he won't need you
to comfort his anger
at his own confusion
at the mere illusion
that he can't think
all on his own
because tell me this
has he broken a bone?
has he experienced the falls?
has he been trapped by REAL walls?
not ones that have come because he's not allowed out
not ones from the times that his parents did shout
for the times he got drunk and pi**ed on the floor
and he'll just leave the room and just slam the door
because he's just young
younger than you
and although he admits it
he doesn't think it's true
deep down inside
he's just gone and lied
because I know what he's thinking
because I've been there too
but I looked deep inside
because I'd nothing better to do
ask him the last time
he spoke to his mother
father, sister,
even his brother
because he doesn't love you
not deeply, anyway
because all he really needs
is for someone to say
you can talk to me
it'll all be alright
we won't have to argue
we won't have to fight
because your emotions are yours
and of course I want to hear them
you can tell me your life
I could be your wife
I could sit you down
and wipe off the frown
and you don't have to worry
at all about me
because I'll be happy
listening to you
so you can tell me
that you're so very angry
but he'll run off
but you'll not have to seek
because he'll be back
he's too damn weak
because he needs you
to you he doesn't care
but because he needs someone
to massage his hair
to give him the confidence
he lacks on his own
and leaves you alone
to deal with your emotions
all by yourself
and that's why it hurts
not that you love him
because that's for you to know
but he just loves you
because you care for him
when the real reason to love
is because you're NATURALLY caring
you're NATURALLY loving
you're NATURALLY beautiful
you're NATURALLY perfect
not perfect to him
perfect to life
the beautiful person
the beautiful wife
because you deserve better
than anything he could possibly be
but he probably feels
the same way about me
but your two moons
are choices for you
you can only chose to
kiss the one lips
so please make sure
it's the right eclipse
for your sun shines too brightly
to be blocked out by a moon so sightly
that wants more space in the eyes of the land
so please make sure you keep close to your chest the winning hand
because it only hurts me to see you abused
not battered or bruised
just being used
because you're naturally concerning
but please heed my warning
that I'm happy to watch you live your mistakes
but don't expect me to gather them up in your wake
it's not that I don't worry
it's not I don't care
but at the moment my dear
it's too hard to bare
but there's something we both need to learn
and we can only do it alone
because all of the above
you'll learn on your own
so perhaps I should keep quiet
and perhaps I shouldn't write this
but as I told you once my dear
I'm just a catalyst

Jesus, you're really beginning to annoy me. Get lost. This forum is for anyone, and Meka and pb are two of the best posters on these forums. It's supposed to about chatting about anything you want you, having a laugh, telling Scottish people that Communism sucks e.t.c. If you're here just for GAD, I suggest FOG Prime.
Wish I could write lyrics like that... to be honest I've never tried.
I thought this forum was for teenagers with little or no money. Not businessmen who jet off to New York.
And Lord H, Life is for everyone, both the real and the imagined form. This forum is a parallel of that and thrives on the posts of people of all ages and all walks of life.
Being married and 'old' does not automatically get you the booker prize, I should know!
Grix, I am not being funny here but from what I can gather you are grown up with a wife and kid (please do correct me if I am wrong). This forum is more for teenagers and you seem to be basically stealing their thunder and robbing young people, who don't have as much money as you, of their chance of winning GAD.
Everyday I seem to come on here and see another of your posts. All of these seem to be more suited to a forum elsewhere for people who want their literary work published.
I hope you understand but my feeling is that both you and Meka are doing this and neither of you seem to realise what you are doing.
There, I've said it. I now expect a great deal of flaming and perhaps an email warning from SR :-)
Sorry.......

Something about this apealed to me. Haven't quite worked out what just yet, but I'm working on it.
Another fantastic piece Grix. Could have spent all day picking out the bits I liked!
