Well. This was for high school English so feel free to rip it to shreds.

Monday Morning Quarterback

I am not a teenage anthem
I am not the second gunman
I am not a contradiction

I am all those things
I am all those things
I am all those things
Until my alarm bell rings.

She is just a girl
She is just a pretty lady
She is not a poster child
Not the girl of my dreams

But she is all those things
She is all those things
She is all those things
Until my alarm bell rings

I think therefore I think I am
I see and hear, I’m deaf and dumb
I shout and shout and sing in my sleep
Until my alarm bell rings

I want to be those things
I need to be those things
I crave those things
I’m starving

Hi edgar_derby. I will start with a friendly, Welcome to Passions.  We’re not here to rip apart others views or there works. I like this writing. It says a little something about what we think about when we dream. We all dream and strive to be more then what and who we are.  The only criticism I have it the title.  I personally do not see how it fits in. In addition, the title is very mediocre. You need to get the readers attention in order from them to read it. However, this is just a suggestion. Anyway, welcome to Passions.

can i respond to posts about my poem?
well, the title refers to trying to change the past, or "monday Morning Quarterback"ing.
The term is just a little colloquialism. Okey dokey?
