A.N.: Had to post my poem in here, as it won't let me post it under the "Poem/Song" category. Note: I'd like to retract this now. I wrote this before BSB tickets for Ottawa went on sale - June 24th, 2005. I honestly didn't think they were coming when I wrote this poem, so please don't be too harsh - I just like the poem too much to take it down. Also, I'm still a lil' torked 'bout the Fan Club. Thank-you.

Betrayed By the ones you thought you could always count on Hurts to be proven wrong - more than anything Give them love all these years, and suddenly it's like you don't matter

Tears fall, and no one sees Heart shatters and no one can mend The reason you live Finally turned its back on you

Love shown to all the others, while you are left out in the cold To freeze all alone Not sure how to feel anymore Can't give up the ones you adore - even now that they've upset you

Wallow in self-pity What else is there to do? How could they have done this to you? After all you've done for them

Supporting anyway - as you don't know who's to blame for sure But wish people would help complain To make you matter to those who seem to have forgotten And betrayed

Sadly, this is dedicated to BSB.

I found out that you have to pay $30 American to join their Fan Club - I can't afford it - only have $25 Canadian saved up for their album,

But what really has me pissed off & feeling betrayed - They only have ONE Canadian tour date - August 2nd in Toronto - and it's NOT even confirmed yet!

I mean, after all we've done for them & this is how they repay us! They always give us three tour dates, but now they can't even grant us that much. Meanwhile, the rest of the world gets 'em like they're hotcakes going out of style.

I'm starting to think, if things keep going like they are - I'm never gonna get to see 'em. And I just HAVE to see 'em!

I'd appreciate if y'all could help a Candian gal out. I've been an obsessed fan for *8* years now, & this is how they repay me - & the rest of Canada.

KTBSPA - even if mine is starting to waver momentarily.

pEaCe!
