Standing In Silence...

For you my heart cries,
after what you told me,
I look in your eyes,
and I like what I see.

Then I realize,
I'd give it all away,
just to hold you,
To have you one day.
     give it all away..

Confusing what's real,
this lack of self control,
I can't stop the way I feel,
You make me feel whole.

Then I realize,
I'd give it all away,
just to hold you,
To have you one day.
     give it all away..

I know I'm not alone,
when I'm with you,
these feelings seep in my bones,
and I know you feel them too.

Then I realize,
I'd give it all away,
just to hold you,
To have you one day.
     give it all away.........

I could be wrong, but many of the lines in here I have heard in songs.  Or at least lines that sound almost exactly like them.  Also the punctuation is incorrect.

When something is cliche and has been said better in dozens of other places, it does matter.  Poetry isn't simply about saying "Wow I can relate," it is about improving as a poet.  Unless of course you aren't really a poet.  Either way.

Oh but you are listening, and you are going to read this.  I believe we both know that one.  I hope other poets realize that commenting on your work is pointless.  All you want is an ego boost, and you should go get that from your family or friends.  Poetry is about improvement.  But what you have written here isn't really poetry, so I guess it all works out then.

I liked this piece...I may be wrong, but I am not sure that the punction is really that big of a deal...I believe it's how the poet feels when they are writing.  Keep up the great work.

hi all...i just had to get in on this. im pretty sure that clve didnt mean anything by her remarks. i dont believe the intentions were nasty. she was just giving his honest opinion. but then again, critique opinions are better left in that forum.

I have something to say...I am no longer a teenager, I'm actually a little older.  I like to visit the teen poetry because I think you guys are full of energy and poems are real life situations most of the time.  I have been with PIP for a long time now, I guess you can call me a veteran.  I did all the "i love you" and the "i hate you" poems when I was your age as well.  I think I've been in every forum in this website and I know my way around.  
This poem whether it has some lyrics, or whether it came out of your own inspiration is yours to call.  I think it's beautiful and I encourage you to keep on writing. Every poet (because that's what you are) has a "brain fart!!" a little pest.  This other person that keeps putting you down is your "brain fart" DO NOT let her get to you.  It's something that we all go through.  And for this Staci girl, there is a critical analysis section where you can go and complain all you want.  Enough time wasted on you.

Get my name right or don't use it.  That is just plain rude to do, and I think at any age you should know that.  
Also I can't believe that everyone on this site is so against improvement.  So they are teenagers, why should we expect any less?  You shouldn't.  And besides, if you use lines that have already been written, it makes for a boring poem.  And if no one here can see what real poetry is, then poetry is worse off than I thought.

By what I read you aren't a teenager either, I somewhat understand what you are saying, but I just simply think that there is a better way of saying what you said.  No improvement isn't bad, but do you think your comment was meant for someone to improve or to just simply criticize?? If you meant it for improvement, then maybe you should be the one taking some type of writing classes because the way you expressed yourself was wrong. Were here as a family and to help each other.  By the looks of it you only have 55 posts...only 55 posts and you think you're a poet??

55 posts here.  I have been at FAR better sites for much longer.  And I am a teenager.  And, you know what, I am more of a poet than the kids here that say that all they want are people to drool over there work.

I am not the one that is holding myself under a ridiculously low expectation, thanks.  I am a teenager, and I expect more from myself than they do.  And, frankly, more than you expect of them either.  So I will keep myself out of the lump Teenager category.  As long as that title exists and is used with poetry, poets will never improve here.

Well since you have the capacity to understand the difference between Their and There, than why not go learn how to punctuate real poetry correctly.  And while you’re at it learn what poetry is.  Read some books about it and see what happens.

Staci, i think this was a great poem..and i enjoyed it! But i dont think anyone should be fighting..i dont have many poems posted myself..i write poems usually when i am feeling down or have a strong feeling about something and want to get it out. I dont think im a very good at writing poetry..but thats not the point! we are teenagers and should try to act like young adults and stop this childish and pointless arguing! ~Jess
