the unknown realm of insanity

0 posted 2002-07-26 01:30 AM



I am strong and beautiful.
Honest and smart.
I hate having to cry,but have a delicate heart.

I will not let people tell me what to do.
I am always on my best behavior,and always speak the truth.
I have power over my life and only mine.
If i cry do not worry,for i'll be fine.

I stand up tall and swallow my pride.
Speak my mind,have nothing to hide.
Step aside,keep what you want to say.

Because i am a girl.
So get out of MY way!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wanting him is hard to get.Loving him is hard to regret.Losing him is hard to accept.But with all the hurt i've felt,letting go is the most painful ye

HAhahahaha---Delaney, you're so cute! On the other hand...there's nothing wrong with showing Female Pride, now is there?

Others are too in love with the sound of their own voice to speak the truth...

An interesting synopsis of the fairer sex.  Quite amusing.

So LP-man is back. Amusing. ^^

Pollita-

lol. It's good that you have a strong character and esteem. And I can see that you show this through the confidence in your writing.

Your get your message across quite well in this piece, however, the meter sometimes "wanders" off. The cause? Some of the lines are a bit wordy. No fear, Leah is here! (Run for your life...) You can fix this by rewording some of the lines, such as:

"I am always on my best behavior,and always speak the truth."

to

I'm honest and friendly, and say naught but the truth.

Or something like that. ^^ It basically gets the same message across.

Another way to solve wordiness (word? Probably not. ^^) is to cut the line in half:

"I am strong and beautiful.
Honest and smart.
I hate having to cry,but have a delicate heart."


to

I am strong and beautiful.
Honest and smart.
I hate having to cry,
But have a delicate heart.

However, your way is fine and so there is really no reason to change it unless you think it's for the best.

Other than that, a good read. I liked the last two lines the best. ^_^ Hope to see more from you!

This stuck a chord with me. Well written indeed!

I'm sure that many would want Elrond, but Legolas is fine for me.
