I live a life of kiss and tell,
one that I wish had more,
but on this journey through my life,
everyone seems to ignore.

Every night I wonder,
why I'm really here.
Just to have a wish,
a love and then a tear?

This road that I am on,
is no so called smooth ride.
Upon each bumpy trail,
I feel the need to hide.

I don't want a perfect route,
for I know that there's no such thing.
All I wish for is a shoulder,
one on which I can lean.

Everytime I think I find my way out,
I stumble back into reality.
There's no way to turn around,
or none that I can see.

I think to myself what I want,
and a million things come to mind....
but only one sticks out,
and it's not to be left behind.

I keep my feelings bottled up,
and I can't hold out much more.
I just want someone to listen,
a reason to talk for.

I just want someone there,
someone to listen and understand....
and after they find out about me,
they can tell me who I am.

Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes.
Want nothing & you will have everything.

Nice work. It seemed to me that the fifth stanza and the last stanza could have flowed better in the first two lines. The rest was wonderful though.

Hey Heather,

I'm still amazed at how similarly we write, it's really amusing. I agree with Jessica about the fifth stanza, you could probably pull a couple of words out of the first and second lines, and make it flow better. However, I think the last stanza works. I didn't see/hear anything wrong with the flow.

I really liked this. Like I said, it's something I would write. I think you're tapping into my mind or something. Bizarre

Good Job<3kerR

When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better.

i like this piece so much it reminds me of myself in so many ways in this stanza above i would personally change the second line to

"is no so called,"smoothe ride"

just for reading purposes it sounds better to me but i havent slept in the past 36 hours... and i think ints smoothe but again lack of sleep so who knows! well i really liked this.

Cute and deep. I like it very much. Reminds you of... well, anyone's life. Pretty much a general thing I guess we all think about. I think everyone can relate to this poem.

I like it. It's a very nice poem! ^^
