Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

it wasn't such a crime
i was blocking the fire
dead as my desire
and i will live
through....tomorrow
i will get through
all this sorrow
I would not
return
there..
to that place
'cause my face
isn't as pretty
as it was then
left now
just the look of
disgrace
i live on
today
tomorrow
left behind
a sea of sorrow
but i left my mark
and you knew
all along
there were sharks
in the water
unfair
twisted
lies
between us
were we afraid to fly?
they all had the same
cross to bear
some better at IT
than others
wish somebody
would get out of line
make a scene
blow it right out
of the water
the sharks don't bite
THAT...hard....
just do it...
make it happen....
what are....YOU...
AFRAID of....?
you think they all
don't ALREADY..know??
what was he thinking?
waiting at HOME....?
can't blame it on the
white ZIN...
baby...a sin...is a sin...
like pages from..
a story book..
it's all been told..
...before...
time now for the
water...to break open the door
or you'll drown in those
troubled waters...

Julie,
This poem has much depth to it...
Felt like being in the mind of the poet as the ink flowed...

Yes I think the 'sass' gave it a bit of a slam, street feel, making it more interesting than a rant... your work has a youthful appeal Jul...
