You think I'm aloof,
Feelings scattered,
That I don't feel it...
But I do.

Believe me to be,
Cold-hearted and distant,
As nurturing as a post,
Disconnected and flaky.

Think I do not need,
All that you can give,
That I do not yearn for it...
But I do.

As I await,
Two roads to choose,
Will I forget?
Will I try harder?

Now what you say, do I understand?
Comprehend this cannot be,
Think I do not realize truth,
But I do.

I read this a couple of times and I like it.  

"Now what you say, do I understand?
Comprehend this cannot be,
Think I do not realize truth,
But I do."

I like how you ordered the words in this poem, great work jenn

Nice work Jenn!  Maybe if you'd stop talking once and awhile I might be willing to believe you are aloof....

Jenn, you don't talk NEARLY as much as I do. Allan just doesn't know this, YET.  My hand sorta hurts b/c I had blood drawn yesterday and the veins in my arms weren't working. ANyways, AWESOME   poem.  You ordered the words around to make them fit what you wanted to say very well. C-ya>!

I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to.  I never thought that I couldn't.

Well done on this one Jenn! I enjoyed it.

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
