Be Longing

Sometimes I wondered
Why I stared out the window
And what was out there
That was not here

Yo dear Juju,

Everyone, in their own special way--belongs.

There's no getting away from that.

Love Bobby

It is human nature to search for the unknown.  That is until you get older, and you don't even look anymore out windows for a change.   Loved this.

looking for someone new or someone old is something we all do
Even if you are looking for them
they sometimes don't come around
so you have to leave and look for them
just my 2 cents

Hmmm...

I'm wondering why you deferred to John on an edit?

Not sure if I disagree with him or not, I'm just curious...and if there is some private mentorship, I do defer my question, understanding that sort of relationship.

Hahahaha!!!!!!!

That was really funny.  He was right.  If I disagree I wont make changes.  This I do irregardless of the person.  If you look on my box I encourage critiques.  In this case John was right.

I think you were simply longing for your best friend, your muse.

Within comes from out there because if there was no out there then there would be KNOW you.

Interesting name you have. Did it come from the name of a candy you couldn't pronounce when you were a kid? You know, real cute kid sounding with a little lisp.

Don't mind me, I'm crazier than he*ll!

Take care and don't pull the blind

well, if it's up for discussion, with utmost respect, I'd like to know why you think he was right?

(not intending offense, I'm trying to learn too...)

Of course.

The word in its place changed the direction of the poem and effected the meaning at that location.  Or made the poem blurry.

back to your poem, juju...I loved the message and young or old many of us wonder the same (and  I agree that the "in" was not needed.)

Nice writing~~
