How can there be
Love at first sight
When all you can see
Is the darkness of night?

A word of advice
From someone
Love isn’t someone being nice
Love is someone willing to face down a gun

If you have love
Don’t turn it down
Wear it like a glove
Let it protect you

Love is what makes
The worlds go round
Even when it shakes
There is love in the ground

Only humans bring the hate
They bring the fear
And the destroy the world
As they bring it here

If you have love
If you have life
Use it, live it
Once you loose them, that’s it

Fear is pointless
Hate is the same
Power is only in your mind
In the end it’s only a game

It’s all the same to me
I can no longer see
The point in this place
Or in the human race

But while you’re here
Make the best of it
Don’t bother with fear
Shy away from hate

Do this and you might
Find real happiness
And might not loose sight
Of the point in all of this

alright there a parts of this I don't even remember writing and it kinda jumps from subject to subject so it kinda sux but in any case it's all I can post at the moment.

This isn't a bad poem but you have written better than this.  I think that you present some very good ideas and the concepts behind this piece are good, so with a bit of rewriting to make it more focused this could be a very good poem.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

No no it's very good actually!!  I think it was really good!  And it's going into my library!

No angels in heaven nor demons below the sea, could ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee

I think the message within in this poem rocks big time!!! I really liked it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I love the message... This is great, Poet, as usual.  Nice one, and keep posting.

You were talking bout love and Dopey agrees with you.  That in itself is something to be proud off    Good job
