Fulmer" Subject: ET: The Period(poem) Hey all, I figured out what's bugging me(if you knew I was bothered and cared) and Ugh..It's insane this time. I hate mood swings :( I want them to DIE! I can't even resist the urge to cry right now and it's about nothing at all. Oh well, I'll live. It'll go away in a day or 2. I didn't wanna send this but I needed to get emotions, moods, feelings, energy out. If you don't like my poems, let me know...Comments/questions/etc are welcome but not required. Take care and Have a Good (and STABLE) Day! :o) -Seth ============================================================ The Period by Seth D. Fulmer 12-01-00 I cry then I laugh These tensions are the worst I am afraid for my life yet right now I'm alone I hate my whole life but I'm in love, what's the score? The eagles are down 2 The cowboys are winning Damn you fine Birds You're so cute I just wanna hug you But AHHH I'm acting like a girl now I need to release these feelings They'll tear me apart and rip me to shreds I don't like them much but then again they're awesome The power, the insanity The rage, then the calmness I feel like a whirlwind exists inside my own mind Kiss me, no hug me Oh no, just please hold me I don't need these feelings I feel like a stupid whore I just came; stop bugging me and it felt so very fine! I don't want your sexuality I just want your love Respect me and cuddle with me by the fire with my teddy bear Will you be with me girl when I'm truly insane of old age I would be with you no matter what even now when my mood changes I love her, Gosh yes, she's insanely beautiful I could kiss her right now but she's so far from me Well I'll blow a kiss to her I'll eat a cherry too and imagine that I'm tasting her lips until forever and a day ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 18:14:12 EST From: RJonthego@aol.com Subject: ET: i'm singin the blues.... >> HOW TO SING THE BLUES (a How-To Guide) >> >> 1.
