“I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.”-Kurt Cobain

Stillness of the night
Nothing proves to be alright
In your arms
I am held dear
But in your heart
Your intentions are different I fear.
~*~
Falling apart
Losing touch with my soul
Giving in
To darkness, untold
Evil nightmares
Play in my head
Making me wonder
How I am not dead.
~*~
Endless longing
To be like you
Hold nothing dear
Continue to move
Broken to the core
Shattered remnants
Of a girl once knew
~*~
Devotion to nothing
Who is to say
There isn’t something greater out to play
Endless tidings
Taking lives
Judging by a cover
But have you ever been there
~*~
Beautiful creature
In more ways than one
I want to be like you
Hold my day in the sun
Giving up on love
Losing faith in friends
Won’t be much longer
Until today will end.
~*~
Perfection is madness
Madness is you
Teaching me to long
To become something true
Leading by hope
Where do I stand
Left in this shattered wasteland
~*~
Stillness of the night
Nothing proves to be alright
In your arms
I am held dear
But in your heart
Your intentions are different I fear.

“If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.”-Kurt Cobain

My favorite lines.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Longing to be loved as we are and fearing that we are not good enough. My interpretation may be way off, but this is what I feel from this poem. Very well written Ali.
