I know I’m not even 16…

I’ve never seen the world,
     But I’ve dreamed of it
I haven’t heard everything,
     But I can prepare myself for it
I don’t know it all,
     But I’ll keep working until I do
I’ve never really lived,
     But I’m here, and I’m breathing
And I’ve never really loved,
     But I’m learning on you…

I know I’m not even 16…
     But adolescence never equaled immaturity
I know I’m not supposed to love you,
     But theres a difference between
              Knowing & Feeling

Wow... I like this one a LOT! Very well written. It goes along totally with how I'm feeling right now... Confused, yet knowing that everything is alright and that it's all going to work out. Very good write, one of my favorites from you. Well done.

Sometimes youth is over-rated, eh? Nice ideas, though the poem itself doesn't really seem as good as your others. Keep up the work though.

We all feel like we know it all when we are young. But at least you seem to understand it's a learning experiance.

Lisa~
I'm liking this a lot.
I enjoyed the style that you chose to write this in...very effective.
Life is definately a learning process and you'll
find that the more you learn, the more there is to learn.
We never really know it all.
Very well said, Lisa.

I loved the format, the idea behind it, everything! An amazing poem, and I'm going to read it again. Then again.
