I am who and what you will. I am your mother, your concubine, your succubus, your sibling. I live where ever I choose to stay at the moment. I am whatever age I need to be to do as you will. I am yours, so long as it pleases her, and has nothing to do with him. Have you ever looked at a bubble and wondered how something so celestial can survive in such a horrible place as this? Dont you understand that you need to be childish to really undearstand? Children dont have that veil that blocks everything an adult doesnt expect to see! Regret your past. Hate your present. And fear your future more than life its self. Death will come- might as well accept it. Love it. Embrace it. Do you know who I am? I hope somebody does, its been so long since I could remember. Help. Floss. Hug. Never forget. Screw the cap on. Just because you have ten toes doesnt mean you dont have thirteen fingers. Laugh.


   I dont suppose you could really call this a poem, but I'm posting it anyway. Why?  Becuase I was taught that poetry is used for expressing yourself, and this is doing just that. [edited]

It could be considered as free verse
but you do need to write it in a different format

I enjoyed this, but agree with acire.  You expressed yourself well, though, allowing for a good read

This was really good and I'm so glad that you decided to post it, even if it doesn't really fit the form of most poetry.  Lots of emotion in here, and I think you expressed it really well.  It sorta reminded me of the Sunscreen Song from way back when..Does anybody remember that one??

I'm agreeing with everybody else that format doesn't really matter although format does make your readers read it the way YOU want them to. So if you wanted them to read it just is, then so be it. Other than the format, the words were very strong... perfect for emotion.

I think there is no such thing as a set format for a poem so write howver you feel. But anyway I like this piece.

OH I LOVED this! Free verse! *cheers*
however, I HATE poetry in this form...Blah, needs a different format, I feel like I'm reading a paragraph when it's like this...The lines need ot be broken up...other than that, I loved it. I could tell what words should be emphasized and what should be a bit quieter...etc (Or maybe that was just my own crazy head doing it itself..lol) anyway, it rocked, thatnks for the read...more I say, more!
