I am about as confusing as this poem so here goes..

I am confused yet I must always stay strong
I wonder if I will last that long...
I hear voices telling me that I am wrong
I want to know what it feels like to belong
I am confused yet I must always stay strong

I pretend to soar up into the sky
I feel that my life is still passing me by
I touch a cloud, and begin to cry
I worry that eventually my soul will die
I cry that soon I must say goodbye
I am confused yet I must always stay strong

I understand my life has truly just begun
I say everyone should have a chance to have fun
I dream that all the hate will just be done
I try my very best to please everyone
I hope that I have disappointed none
I am confused yet I must always stay strong

Naw, Susie...just think of it as being Fashionably Late.  

And this response just rocks....full of sensitivity and creativity and other words that end in ivity.  


Yeah, I know...I'm a silly...*grins*...well, probably all ready know that from my response to the challenge.....

Wonderfully written, and I'm very glad to know you a bit more.

See ya around the Forums.
