Think what you want, because sometimes I can't understand myself.....Hey, I have seniority!

Have I been cast away,
Onto a desert Isle,
My skin is burning red,
Though I felt welcome for a while,
And now I fall asleep,
My skin is getting cold,
Though I'm only thirteen and a half,
My heart is growing old.

Have I been frozen when,
I slept so peacefully,
For now I cannot move,
Although my soul now wanders free
I realize I’m abandoned
In a land that ceases to be
A place of non-existence,
Where you have abandoned me

Have I been left alone?
Have you abandoned me?
I thought that we were meant,
But now I'm lost at sea,
I drift away from you,
And I shout out one last plea…..
If you save me now,
I’ll keep you for eternity

Go Liz, its your birthday, not really,
I'm thirteen going on 50!

You have an old Soul my dear,
that's all.  Be grateful...if you
realize that now, you can really hone
it in your future!  

Congrats on your 500th post!

Karilea is right, Liz...
You do have an old soul, and you use it to write beautiful poetry

Perhaps not an old soul...but one with mature insight...well written...

...believe what your heart feels...

Something I really appreciate and would never take advantage of. I just use it to write poetry....

(sigh) Oh Liz, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it! (kiss on cheek) You are very wise for someone your age and I know you will be a master poet in the near future as you already are incredibly talented! (smiles) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Liz, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Hey, little Liz.....
I've missed you for the last couple of days. Have you been in another forum?
Anyway, I really like this poem. You do write way beyond your years.
I also think it's wonderful that a 13 year old loves to read and write poetry like you do. Most teenagers your age don't like poetry. I liked it, too, when I was very young. Younger than 13 really.

yes...you write from places deep as only one who has traveled far in a short time could..
and your words speak of the wisdom of knowing youve miles to go and will make it far.

13?!!!!! And you writing the way you do! My god I must say I'm in total awe. You're brilliant and we're going to keep an eye on you because there are no limits to what you can accomplish! That said I understand feeling older than you are I feel like I'm goin on 80 but I'm much younger than people think. Congratulations on your 500th post
