When I’m looking deep inside myself
I find nothing but a trace of something
My life goes on like everyone else
And I am lost inside of this world
If I could stop and control it all
I would try it in a minute
I would make the shallow people
Think twice about the things they do
And reward those with good judgment

I am sure there are people
Who would say I am the shallow one
And who knows, they might be right
But as long as I look through these eyes
As long as I live in this body
My judgment is right to me

Make your own mistakes
I’ll make mine myself
I would never change myself
To please another person
Be the person you want to be
Don’t be a stranger to your own self

Don’t try and think that you know it all
The world isn’t known by anyone
Forget troubles and problems for just a minute
And take time to laugh
Don’t hold it in
Laugh until you cry

Who cares what anyone thinks?
It doesn’t matter
Live each day like it’s the only one left
But pretend it will last forever.

The hours in the day go by like weeks
But the minutes go by like seconds
It all could be over in the blink of an eye
And nobody would expect anything

If life is so horrible
Then why do people fear death?
Maybe it is like a release
An escape from the thing that everyone hates the most

We complain about money and tv
School, People, and our parents
But if it was all taken away,
Would we complain about it being gone?

thats a good question...
what would life be like, if we werent here to complain about it?
lol. you got a lot of thoughts here.
it seemed to flow ok, a little rough in some spots, but not bad, and you hit the philosophy of the question with skill, and understanding.
sorry, l think l'm in a philosophical mood..
laurie. good poem, keep posting.
welcome to pips.

Morgan,
   Wonderful Poem! Welcome to Passions dear friend.  I knew you had talent but that poem was great.  I understand exactly what you mean.   Love it! Great first post!!

-Jeanette-

I am a hopeless romantic not because I am hopelessly in love and not because love is hopeless.  I am a hopeless romantic because I do not see the hopelessness of love and someday I hope to find true love.
