We are unwilling participants in a comedy.
We are a melodrama constantly unfolding.
If you dont believe me and swear that you wont conform.
You need to know that its true, otherwise the best joke is on you.
We die young, scream loud... and people laugh.

Empty
Vast
Beautiful
Young
Hatred

Teenage Melodramas are all we have....

Nice job here! Very provocative subject matter...well, at least for me.  I've often argued the paradox of conformism ...how does one go agianst the grain of conformational society without conforming to a routine of individualistic non-conformation? Is this not setting yourself into a mold in of itself? I'll stop now, lest I go on for hours... lol. In any event, nice job!

This sight is a gift, but many in it's possession consider it a curse of sorts. For life would be easier for those who "see" if they were "blind"......but once one may see, would one ever want to give it up? Okay, yah, time to shut up.. lol  :.)

I love this poem Paul...I really do. It's of much spiffy-ness. You always say it so well. Take advantage of your gift...don't let it decay.

Paul I like cheese too.

WOW! This was simply amazing. Simply! The whole poem is great and i loved every word of it. Wowowowowow........this is great. I am surprised you don't get on here more. We are all missing out as a community with the lack of your artistic postings.....You HAVE to come on here more. This one poem was amazing, I can't wait to read more.

Its hard to appreciate the things that kill you, so i dont consider any of this much of anything... but i guess thats artistic too right? To me an artist is no more than an interpreter, i see the world around me... and yeah, hell i dont know... ill write something about it...
