Hi everyone! It's been quite awhile since I've last posted.. Missed you!!!  
Well, here's a poem. Hope the style doesn't "annoy" anyone (let me know)! I find it more comforting to write this way   hope you like..
--------


“Turned Out”

Someone once told me a bit of a lie; when at the edge of the unknown, faith provides the wings to fly.  is it so true? or just a fable resown?  for this trench is looking deep, and my eyes are drawn to my every retreat... what’s this faith you speak of, my wings are broken it seems.  you’re pulling one way, while I cry for another.  you don’t mean it, wouldn’t if you knew.. still I’m changing now, turning to something new.  a dream I desire.. is it too far? I’ve lost that hope I so deeply require. now I need you my friend, I need this.. wont you help me put the pain to an end?  If you turn your back, then what is there left?  I’ll be turned out, left behind with all the rest... the others you got to, locking them up.. their minds making the picture of a different room. I know their pain, I can read through their eyes to inside.  they need someone, as I, in which to confide. but you’ve turned them out, cast them astray.. so defend as you will.. and I’ll continue to pray.

Nicely done!!!!!!! W0h00! I really really enjoyed this poem. I thought it was amazing. It's good to see you come back! And so strong too! Wowish.

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

This is a really beautiful poem, i like it a lot.  The format doesn't annoy me, but i do thaink that it would make the piece more powerful and easier to read if you included line breaks.  excellent work, though, i hope you keep posting.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Welcome back  
Wow, VERY good job here!
I agree with banbury that it would be easier to read if there were more line breaks, but if it's easier writing that way, than whatever floats your boat  
Nice job.  I can't wait to read more.

Thanks for the tips too! The next one I post like this, I'll try to add some line breaks.

You did real good on this poem though I suggest that you break it down in to different lines and stanzas.  Maybe when done so, it would give th epoem a better effect
