Even the sunshine dares to smile, at this confused teenager, amidst her minor despairs and stresses. Even flowers dare to bloom, and grace her with their presence, in her times of self-hate. And in the times when she feels, there's no one left that cares, even the wind dares to caress her cheek. Why, oh why, can't you? ~Becky |

Wow! A sad put a very beautiful poem with a powerful ending. Sometimes people will look at you but not see you, and that's just blindness, stupidity and their loss! keep smiling Becky |

Wow I really liked this poem. So touching....wow......very impressive here. The ending left me with a sigh and kind of a hallow feeling on the inside. Like.....since you're not getting this person to carress your cheek, to love you......neither was I. Very touching poem..... I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Humanity cowers in the face of nature... comparing a person to what your environment does. I'm curious if the forces of nature are metaphors for other people... this thought lingers in my head. Great poem, either way. ^_^ -Allan |

I really like the way this is written too, the ending has such power written into it. Great job of making the reader really feel this one! "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Lakewalker http://www.thehungersite.com |
