I’m torn asunder
By these contemplations,
Ripped apart
By these complications,
Misconfided
By the undulations,
Of these waves of change.

I’m torn asunder
By these frustrations,
Torn in half
By these connotations,
Disunited
By the odd translations,
Of these tales of woe.

I’m torn asunder,
By these obstenations,
Cut to shreds
By these innovations,
And Divided
By the endless nations,
Of these cries of war.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one...I kinda like it, but at the same time, I don't like it. What do you guys think?

Actually Adam I really liked this.
Though if I had to pick something to gripe about I would say change "Torn in half" to "ripped in half" or something...Because you have "*Torn* Asunder" right above it... Ya know? Ya well...Just my thought. (Which should be a big clue right there to just disregard it. haha) Anyway, Like I said- I enjoyed it bunches. I get what you are saying. Nice write Kosetsu.

I liked this one a lot.  Lots of big words...  lol  It was a great affect how everything pretty much rhymed together...  It was quite strong, I enjoyed reading this piece.

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

There's no "I guess" about it!  THis is awesome, Adam!  I loved it.  It's very well written.. the short lines were PERFECT for the style of the poem, and the flow was awesome.  I really liked the way you repeated similar lines... that worked out well!  Very nicely done.  I really enjoyed this.

Eh..ok...dun hurt me. I'm convinced now that this one is good. Happy? I re-read through it a few times this afternoon (I had the day off from work, and was bored, so I re-read a bunch o' my work), and it kinda grew on me.

P.S. I've been updating my site recently, so if any of you view it once in a while, look for a few new drawings, and the debut of my new novel (none of which I ever seem to finish), The Necromancer's Bookcase. You can see the first 2 chapters of that story in the Passions in Prose section of these forums.
