don't you wonder how i always know?
the things i do, the way i let it show
i listen when i write i hear every word
things you say when you think their unheard
you make me laugh when you think i'm deaf
i'm suprised at the words and things you left

i know you don't care about what i say
which is why you don't ask, but thats okay
i wish you smarter, but not all dreams come true
so i sit back and watch the mistakes you do
you poor fools don't know hardly anything
so i'll have fun watching you, listening

"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
Mark Twain

Well… I guess what I mostly saw in this poem was a cynical narrative of the surrounding area/people, it could just be from the way I read it if that’s not what you were intending… I like it though; it shows an emotion I feel at times yet am hard put to describe, almost like, angry amusement?

Suggestions would be that you used a spell check of some kind before you post your poems; it gives your poem a more polished feel when everything looks neat and tidy. I think that in some places the poem could be deemed confusing in the way you’ve worded some of your lines. Reading your poem allowed to yourself a couple of times helps pick out some of these things.

Last but not least… I haven’t seen you on piptalk before, of course I haven’t been around a lot but, Welcome to passions a little late from me!~ Nice seeing a new face with new poems, again. I’ll be looking forward to reading some more of your poems in the near future!

I really liked the flow of this poem and the emotions were great.
~i know you don't care about what i say

I really love this poem...I've kinda felt the same at times but found it hard to put into words - you did a great job though. You've shown great emotion as well...mainly hatred and anger I think?
