Everyone this was very difficult for me to do( trying to make a long story short that is) so this is the best i came up with.

Born by a mistake.
A child with tremendous tears
Now to many fears.

I hear ya pal......I hear ya.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

.....and I like it too!  Good job!  
So many of us feel this way about our births, it is disturbing.

Eternal life without the darkness isn't life at all- it is a lobotomy.

Soo many of us are accidents, but I don't think our parents would ever take us back - though that would be a lil difficult!!!

Melz!!

You can't hurt me anymore than I have hurt myself already...

I've read you other posts and they were short too
But they were indeed overflowing with meaning
So, I don't see the reason why you would have a hard time on this

Kit~thank you for your kind word.

Dopey~I find we have very much in common day by day. I am glaid someone hears me.

Jeremy~sad yes but not all births are happy like people aways seem to say.

lakewater~ I like what you said alot and I have been thinking about that when i write now.Thank you

Allan~very disterbing indeed. It is so said that I was made by a mistake so i have been told and it shows what a great mistake i truly am, but thats ok just means no one will be like I.

Melser~lol I know my parents wont take me back. They were the ones that gave me away. lol your so cute. thanks for the laugh

Acrie~ short but powerful i like that alot, but this one was actually very hard to make so short as i did. thank you for your thoughts

hi angel,
like the others, i am amazed at how powerful your senryu..i am disturbed by the words.."a mistake"...very haunting....

never regard yourself as a mistake..if your other poems are as fine as this, then you at least serve a purpose--to let the rest of us know the world better through your eyes...

Kaile,

Well first off thank you for saying my senryu is powerful. And infact I WAS born by a mistake. My parents never intended to have, and my mother never wanted to have a child she just did. So when i was born they gave me up for adoption because they said i was a "mistake" There is alot to the story but just wanted to explain in someway or another i am in fact "a mistake" in some ones eyes.
