I just wrote this poem today, I figured I might as well start writeing newer stuff if I intend to continue posting for more than a week.
haha

So this one I kinda wanted to write for a while.  It's more like most of my poems, it has a similar thought through out, and a stanza at the end that differs and makes the other ones make more sence.  If you read one of my other ones "A Rose By Any Other Name" then you will recognise the similaritys between the two.  This is probably my most uniformed style.  I hope you enjoy...

To show up, and support me?

Would it be so hard?
To put up with a bad joke?
To fain and interest?
To not walk away?

Would it be so hard?
To do my work?
To fix something that I broke?
To not look down on me?

Would it be so hard?
To listen when I hurt?
To try and help?
To pick me up when I fall down?

Would it be so hard?
To at least thank me when I do these for you?

Nice one here........I liked it. QUestions that should be answer but probably won't unless you're holding a pitch fork.

Nice.

Wow Ok I guess this must be a really bad poem.
Maybe I should start mocking it... nah... then I'd just be ridiculeing my work to make it seems like it means less to me than it does and hence would be lieing to everyone includeing myself... so I guess I'll just wak away and see if I ever get anohter reply.

Some tough questions here, questions that a lot of us ask...exellent writing here, and don't get so discouraged when people don't reply quickly...we're somewhat slow sometimes.  Keep your chin up, because you're a good poet!

Chin up my child! A family isn't always there, trust me I know. But, I can tell you who is always there....you and your trusty pen and paper. oh and me.   I think that too often, we get shorted when we give our all only to get less than in return. A lesson hard learned, but definitely something to think about. So just think about it before you sacrifice so much. Best of luck my friend...a wonderful write.

Thank you, most of my poems tend to be in question form.
Sometimes I awnser them at the end.

but sometimes I leave the awnser up to my reader to think if there is anyone in their life who they make feel like me.

Most of what I write is for me and my reader to learn and become more wise in doing so

Good poem. Sometimes only you can be there for YOU. However what is with the edits...? I think everyone's gone mad 'round here!
