Disparity awaits you, o' child.
Shall your desperate attempts be in vain?
Seeking not salvation from your inward exasperations,
Nonetheless you will find no growth in self pity.
Strength comes not from acceptance,
But merely separation:
A drenching of the conscience in lack of concern.
Adages of lemonade,
You can retain the magic in your being
That society shall attempt
To educate out of you...
...Welcome to the world

actually had to pull out the dictionary for this one. clever word, disparity, and totally different but ironically similar to dispair. here's to hoping for the magic to not be dispared or dispaired. cynical, indeed, but a good write.

I've been going through your work (hope you don't mind) It's not like your underwear drawer or anything...or maybe it is.
anyway, I like the feel, content and context of your poetry.
in short - I see things your way.

the last four lines
of your poem
should be taught
in school.
Looks like somebody's
future signature to me.
Bravo!
