everyone says
everyone says my poems are great
they say they're really deep
wonderful they may be
but does anyone take time to think
the emotions i felt
the feelings inside
the words i write
how saddened i am
the sorrow deep down
everyone says they care
they even call me a friend
wonderful they tell me i am
the emotions
the feelings
the words they say they can relate
everyone says they know how i feel
they say it's the real deal
news from me to ya'll
you can't break thru this wall
you don't know me
no, not at all
now it's my turn to say
nobody can take my pain away
nobody can wipe my tears today
nobody will take my life away
this pain i feel
these emotions
these feelings
these words i write
my own they are
combined, they are me
combined, i am them
everyone will say
tom, what a great work of art
i will not delay
everyone, thank you from the bottom of my heart
