How do you let go
Of something you can't grasp
When do you realize
Nothing really last
How do you see the truth
Of something seeming pure and sweet
Only discovering
It's leading to a firey heat
The outside mask
Is always better before you see
The on-going doubt
That lives inside me

What don't kill you can only make you stronger...

Hey Jessica,
  This wasn't my favorite by you..it was pretty good though. I can definitely relate to "How do let go of something you can't grasp." And nothing lasts forever...but that's what can make it a good thing. Cherish the good moments you've got..cuz life's a constant cycle, and sooner or later, everyone's bound to hit a rut in the road.

I can be hard when you think you know someone, only to find out they aren't what they seem. I know from first hand experience.

I've only got one question...what..do you doubt?

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

I really liked the first two lines of this... it really caught my eye.  I enjoyed this piece, Jessica.  It's not the best I've seen from you, but still a pretty good read   Nice work.

Jessica --- whatever is troubling you this time, you know I'll be here to talk to.  I am a good friend ya know.  Your poem is so emotional that it got me a little concerned.  Hope things are ok for you.
