Sorry I don't fit into your nice little society
Censor Me

I speak the truth that's from the heart
but you decide to tear it apart
Censor Me

I speak about issues that we deal with today
I want people to know there is another way
Help them see, before they decay
Censor ME

So I write about government and problems kids face
and you tell me that it doesn't belong in this place
do you tell me that if we turn a blind eye we show grace
or is it that the issues I speak of you'd like to erase
Censor me

I write about anger, about sorrow and moral-decay
you thrash it and bash it then, put it another way
but I won't lie down to your censorship today
Cennsor me

I have tried my hardest to be set apart
to speak only issues that deal with the heart
Censor Me

Sorry I don't fit into your nice little society
Censor Me


um some of you know what this one is about.

we fall like the stars then rise like the sun..Repentence.Forgiveness.We are blame worthy hold us to our wrongs..but don't hold our wrongs against us

I liked the poem.  I *don't* know what this is exactly about, but I imagine I can figure it out pretty easily.    Anyway, liked the poem, keep writing.

that was good jimmy.  i liked the use of repetition.  (jo tries to sound smart).  i agree with you, but i also believe in obeying rules and such.  but i think talking to them about the problem would be a good idea.  cause it doesn't seem like exactly a um, logical decision.

But His word was in my heart
like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding back,
And I could not.

I do not know who you are referring to, but I do know that this was a well written poem.  Keep up the great work!

Jenn I'm not mad at you but I am upset that that other poem got blocked, yes it dealed with some "negative" issues but it was asking people to take a closer LOOK to see the signs so that hey could help prevent such a thing, no where in my poem did I promote what the poem was about and I stated that in a note at the end of the poem...I just peoples eyes to be opened so that when She Cries they will be able to help before it's to late.   "I'm not asking you to love me I'm just letting out the truth no holds barred about what I feel nothing wrong with what I say..." Dogwood...I wouldn't be making a fuss about it being blocked if I didn't have good reason and you know that.

this is excellent writing, and yes, this is Ron's place, he allows us to be here. We have to respect him. I think if you have a problem with the guidelines, or about a decision a Moderator has made in regards to one of your poems, you should email Ron directly

Like you, we have to follow the rules. Many people read this and interpreted it to be a glorification and we're sorry but that's not allowed. If you'd like to talk about this further then e-mail me.

Anyhow, this poem was nicely done. I liked it and find it admiring that you're sticking with what you're saying, but don't think *I* haven't had anything pulled...it's just something that happens due to the rules.

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

Unfortunately, censorship is always there.  I'm sorry that you had it happen to you.  It's a thin line that sometimes they think is crossed, but it's okay to stand by your decisions and I agree that it's important to go by the rules, too.  It's just sad that we can't address things in a different way.  Everyone interprets things differently!  Oh well this was a great poem.

I though this was really good...i dont know the whole story but I can basically get the feel of it and yeah the situation sucks.  This was a really powerful poem though and I thought it rocked.

The openingtwo lines to this poem was VERY strong.  The whole poem has very strong words, and I enjoyed this very much.  As was previously said, censorship is everywhere.  The key is learning how to deal with it positively.  Nice work.

I understand.  All I can do is shake my head or roll my eyes.  While I do appreciate this forum and it's people...I know some issues aren't allowed to be discussed, more or less, and sometimes they need to be.
