Everyday its the same thing.
A life without you here.
Just one touch.
Then maybe a kiss.
One hug.
Is all I ever asked.
But your are just so selfish.
Never caring about others or what they do.
Only one survivor well last in your world.
And that will always have to be you.
For once listen to what I say.
A lonely life will lead to suicide.
Just open up your heart and let me in.
I promise to show you the way.
Don't keep blowing me off.
Why must you be in denial?!?
Let the truth in that dam mind of yours.
While the gods set you free.
Selfish is the sin in life.
So stop it before you pay the price.

Poetry is not just words on paper that may rhyme, but words that are from your heart expressing yourself for others to see from your eyes.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

Selfish people can be quite frustrating but maybe this person has a reason for it that you cannot understand.

I hope the situation improves for you. The piece was fairly well written but the emotion in it really made a large impact.

Keep smiling.

Geesh, tough times eh?
I hope things get better for you man. Good job on the poem.

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
