To a friend in need.....
Many things in life are difficult
and so many people can't handle it
so many people take their lives
or look to other things in need of comfort
people drink to ease their pain
but all they are doing is cheating reality
people eat to fill up the emptyness inside them
but all they are doing is changing their physical state
what is this thing called emotion?
all it ever does to us is ruin our lives
but if we didn't have emotions
we would all just be un-caring
people without a purpose in life
emotions shape our lives in so many ways
if I didn't have emotions
I wouldn't be writing any of this
and you wouldn't be feeling the way you are now
but try to understand that so many people love you
and if I didn't care for you
I wouldn't have given this to you
this is a poem I've written
only to make someone feel special
and I choose you
because I've felt you are special enough to have it
at this point as I write
I don't know who will read this
but always remember you are beautiful inside and out
and I don't want to see you cry
I want to see your smile
the smile that makes me smile
you are a person who is very special to me
now no more tears
and no more sorrow
and bring on the smiles
cause when your done reading this
I'm going to give you a big hug!


-This is a poem I have written to give to friends whenever they need to know that there are people out there that care for them. If you want to send this poem yourself just let me know and give me crdit for it.

This is a nice thing to do for a friend, that is let them know that they are treasured and liked by many.

I must say though, putting "PLEASE REPLY" on the topic line almost made me pass it. But I decided to read it and I am glad that I did. By putting things like that on the top of your topic, you are taking away some of the credit for your work. Many people pass by pieces of work with things like this on the top. As many of us already know, you can't have every single one of your pieces replied to with vast numbers.But I believe that your work is good and therefore doesn't require to have PLEASE REPLY on the top.  

So please don't feel the need to put PLEASE REPLY at the topic line as it is not needed.

Apart from that, this was a good poem that demonstrates what kinds of awful things live in our society.

Actually it wasn't intensial to have please reply in bold, I didn't realize I had caps on when I wrote that until I had already submitted it. So if anyone doesn't like it well I'm sorry but people make mistakes, and don't pass it by because I just wanted to hear from you all because in some cases no one replys to some of my poems and I really wanted to hear your opinions. Anyways, thank you for your reply.   Poe

You must remember Poe, that even if people don't reply, it does not mean that no one reads your work. Your pieces are being acknowledged but the important thing is to remember is that replies don't make you a better writer. It is what is with held within these messages that attribute to your success as a writer.

I know that everyones replys don't make a difference in how I write, I just like to hear everyones imput on my writing and it just makes me feel better to know that people liked my poems and that they could relate to it thats all. But I know that people read it, I just like to hear from everyone thats all. But thank you for your imput I do understand what your saying and I appreciate you taking the time write back. Thanks!!!!   Poe
