somewhere in the cracks between what i am and what i was a change occured the merge into the collective they dub it adulthood i dub it submission to subconscious subversion the need to fit in overrode the need to live i cut my hair i ripped the piercings out adults are not defined by symbols i was told and quickly learned the lie in the picket fenced silk tie world of swedish furniture sets and german cars the new perverted hunt for definition emerges one that I cannot accept the symbols of age are status and control where the symbols of youth are spirit and growth now somewhere in the cracks between what i thought and what is a change occurs from what I'm supposed to be back to what i am **my execution is off blame it on a lack of sleep i'll edit it another day suggestions are welcome [This message has been edited by Aenimal (07-19-2003 03:58 PM).] |

hehe... I don't tell people to edit their work whether or not it's a peice of work. even if this was.. don't change it. lol at ps (did I tell you about the turtle? yanno what i say? we're all crazy on the inside, and one day, some weirdo told everyone to be normal and BEHAVE. but a few of us still know what it's like to be weirdos..right? "when you're strange... faces come out of the rain when you're strange" Don't ever change Raph [This message has been edited by Wind (07-19-2003 05:13 PM).] |

Firstly, I agree with the others, don't you dare edit! This is already brilliant, and if it aint broke dont fix it! This emote/self-analysis is a testament to your strength as a writer and as a poet. Of course I relate, almost too well. A powerful write as always Raph...sometimes you just blow me away with how good you are in making us view life through your eyes. This is a keeper~ Melissa Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

I liked it... To be what we want, to find our essence we must dare the world finding our own symbols. Greetings! Etain. |
