I posted this in open and ill probably get yelled at : / but it just gets lost in all those old people =D   so I wanted to post it here...SORRY!


Why is it that my blindness
Is so clearly seen when looking back?
Why is it that my kindness
Only leaves me open to attack?
Why is it that my heart
Just ends up getting in the way?
Why is it that we part
In silence with so much to say?
Why is it that we hold
Onto our pride with all our might?
Why do our lives unfold
As we miss chances to make right?
Why did we meet at this young age
Instead of when were older?
Why do I cry upon this page
Instead of on your shoulder?
Why do you hold my everything,
The life that I now lack?
Why wont you take this love I bring?
Why wont you take me back?

This was quite sad... but had some very clever phrases in it.  I especially like...
"Why do I cry upon this page
Instead of on your shoulder?"
Very nicely done, and good to see you back.

This was wonderful kevin!!!
I really enjoyed this one a lot.
Well done.

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

it's my opinion that poems with repetition schemes are difficult to write but i feel that you have written this one well...

This was good, but terribly sad. Sometimes life's not fair, and makes no sense!!
