i wrote this one while on a walk i get out of my house at 3 in the morning and walk this is what came into my mind hope you like it

i was walking
along in the park at night
when i game upon
a stunning  sight

for on the horizon
i say a man
who did nothing
but just stand

he could see in my face
all that days strife
but i know he saw
my hole life

as i stood
we looked at each other
he started to feel
like he was my brother

we walked
all around this town
and all the while
i heard not a sound

i said not a thing
but nether did he
and we walked until
noon of three

we came back
to where we started
and from there
i heavily departed

even though
we didn’t talk
i felt like we did more
than just walk

he knew how i felt
about being free
that is why
he is me

Well done here. I loved the ending of this one. very unexpected for me.
I liked it!

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 was a really interesting piece.  I noticed some typos, but other than that I really liked it.  The end was a real turn around because I did not expect this man to be you.  Nice job with this.

Wow..what an excellent piece. Even though it is written so simply and short, it gives out so much more.

The ending rocks.

Oh yes, this is definitely a great poem.  
I love how the flow dictates a pause after the line that reads simply "I walk."  I wonder how many people missed that (not I!  ).
Very good work.  The ending I agree is nothing short of excellent.
