Description: For you who know what I'm saying ;)
I don't actually expect anyone to get this, I feel an incompleteness with it, but not sure how to elaborate, personal subjects are hard for me to put out there
My Author -------------------------------------------
Know not your inspiration
Only that it mirrors my thoughts
Bringing out the dark side
Behind this mask of lightness
So often of late I paint my smile
To keep my loved ones happy
They know not of the pain
That drowns my sleepless nights
You read my soul last night
And wrote it down today
Revealing to the world
My inner shame and desolation
This does not bother my heart
It does surprise my head and senses
It’s comforting to see my thoughts
Out in your open forum
No one needs to know
It’s the workings of my soul
For though you are my author
Even you are unaware
Lisa, this did a good job of describing how sometimes our Muse literally puts the words in our mouths! Whenever I write, I start with an idea or a subject, but am invariably surprised how the words just seem to pour out from I know not where, sometimes surprising me!
To me, it was like making love to someone and surrendering yourself to those arms and to the way your body reacts to the humanity of the event. And in the process, your other half molds you, shapes you into a thing of beauty; of curves and naturally glamorous imperfections that meld with all the things that make you shine. And, in the end of it all, you are just thankful to be human and to have these outside elements add up to your beauty.
Or it could even be just a one-way inspiration. You know... like when you find this awfully beautiful thing, human or otherwise (let's make it a person) and then he shapes you in ways that he is unaware of. You suddenly find yourself joing PETA, learning how to cook, wearing skin tight jeans and reading more about Jim Morrison. All because he is in to these things.
I like how you pulled this one of. It was very casual and fairly serene. It gave an impression that you knew exactly what you wanted to say and felt unafraid of the way by which you should say them. I like this because while you were bearing a huge part of you, it didn't come off as something cheap or too desperate. It was well crafted in such a way that you come across as eccentric and not pathetic; a girl stripping herself naked in the middle of thousands of people with her mouth shut and not some cheap wannabe-special taking showing her cleaveage just 'cause she saw Little Kim doing something of that nature.

It is so Good to see you Posting again
To me you are Speaking of someone who sadly is losing touch with their real own True self
For so many of us we have sadly chose in the past to be molded into what everyone wants us to be instead of who we really truly are
I have lived that sadness many times before but in the last 3 years I have finally learned how to Live my Life as God intended for me to Live it
If I could offer one very important fact toHelp you move Forward Lisa it would be
Remember its all in how we Perceive a situation
Great Job!!!
I Look forward to reading more from you soon
I miss talking to you
God Bless

My sense is that this one is about inner struggles. Of course, no one can know anyone better than that person knows herself (or himself). I'm being philosophical in saying that we each have to accept ourselves for who we are before we can ask others to do the same. Take care, Sharon
This one's very interesting. I don't know if you mean some of it literally or metaphorically, but it doesn't matter. I love it.
Wait... are you your own author? Hmm... maybe not. I can't tell. It could go either way.
Yeah, I don't think I get it. Haha. Oh well. I'm going to comment anyway.
"They know not of the pain
That drowns my sleepless nights"
That's really sad. I know what you mean. I guess I'm the same way, although it's hard to admit.
"You read my soul last night
And wrote it down today
Revealing to the world
My inner shame and desolation"
That may be one of the most beautiful things I've ever read.
That probably sounds ridiculous, but you know me... Haha.
And the last two lines are just perfect.
I don't even know what else to say. It's one of those things that make you think, and I love that.
I'm slightly confused, but I don't mind.
As usual, I enjoyed this.

You always say the right things to the right people. Whomever this refers I'm sure it is understood. You do however have a way with words yourself and don't need an author, but that's just my thinking.
I get your idea here, not so sure it's not complete - just maybe not something everyone would get if they don't know you, but again, just my thoughts and I know you
I like it,
