You were the one who held the shame,
I was the one who played the game.
You were the one with the consequence,
whilst I was the one who jumped the fence.

^*~*^

Never did you tell the truth
My lies were enough to cave in your roof.
You were the one, branded a liar
but I was the one who lit the fire.

^*~*^

You were the one with your tale untold
I was the one with my story sold.
Never in your life did you do anything to fail,
yet its me who lives to tell the tale.

^*~*^

How innocence should be your middle name
and guilt is the only thing in me to remain.
you'll never know I was your biggest fan,
and never hear me tell you how sorry I am.

Your poem is very sad and I can really relate to what you are saying in it.My friend was killed in a car accident 2 years ago and I was supposed to be in the car sitting where he was so it really should have been me.But anyway great poem and keep up the awsome work.

I am glad that you found it easy to relate to my poem Lauren, unfortunately I am sorry that it has to be in such circumstances.  I hope you will get over it someday. Thanks

This is really sad...
I think pretty much everybody will find a way to relate to this somehow. ( 2 Examples just above me.) Wonderful read Kim.

This poem is so heart wrenching, Kim.  *hugs* Things like this happen... and it's by no means your fault.  The tecnical side of this poem is awesome.  The flow is VERY well done.  The meter is right on... I really enjoyed the read.  I'm sorry this happened... stay strong.

I really liked this one. You did awesome here! I thought this poem was a very honest one. Like, even though this other person was some how labeled to be something he/she wasn't.....you were, in a way, in the clear but felt horrible for being there.
Oh well, that's what I saw hehe.
Nicely done.

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

I admire it daily

I liked this immensely, I dunno I thought it was part confession sort of trying to get the weight off your chest... anyway I was very impressed, great job.

This was a wonderful poem.  I dont believe I have been in the same situation and felt this way, but I am sure I do not want to be.  I hope that this is resolved by now.  If not, *hugz*

Great poem, horrible situation.  It's great you wrote something like this, even if they can't read it..
