In an upside-down garden

I can't stop what I'm feeling,
can't stop the way I'm living,
can't stop what you're giving,
can't change the way things are.

I can't change what has happened,
can't change the way you hurt me,
can't change the way i feel now,
can't help the way things are.

I can't help what you've done to me,
can't help the way you've given up,
can't help the way you hurt me,
can't stop the pain i feel.

I can't stop what is already done,
can't stop the world, it's too late,
can't stop the fact that you've given me up,
can't change the fact that I can change everything.

This was a nice write, but the last lines confused me.  You cant change anything, but you cant change the fact that you can change everything???  HUH?  This may be a typo, but I thought I would bring it to your attention.  Other than that, great job!

I'm confusing, and that's the way I meant it. it's like if I did something, I could change everything, but I don't think that I could.


Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself.  That's what I live by.

The confusing lines did trip me up, but made me think about the poem a little more.  It was a nice touch.  The repitition I think is a bit overdone... it got kind of old reading different variations of the same line.  This isn't one of your best.. but I still enjoyed the read.  Keep posting all your work.

I understand your poem and I really liked it.Your right though you cant change things that have happened so you shouldn't get blammed for it.

Can you slap me upside the head?  Because I am so sick and doped up on benadryl that I can't figure it out.  I liked the poem anyway, I am just having a little trouble thinking............

Acire, you know me, I don't give up that easily.

Cherish, go ahead.  Actually, I command you to. It'll boost my self esteem.
