Some people never give you the chance,
to show them what you mean...
they just keep on walking,
with their eyes, you're never seen.

Your self-concience you're erasing
with troubled thoughts and guilt...
and every memory passes by,
as your head begins to downward tilt.

Your smile is lost somewhere,
in the midst of all your dreams...
and your only hope for love,
is out of reach, it seems.

You enter this domain
and feel you are completely lost...
all you want to do now,
is forget about the height and cost.

It seems that nothing is ever enough,
and time is passing by...
looking for your future,
as it goes right before your eyes.

When times get too tough,
all you want to do,
is find someone to love,
someone to love you.

but this fairytale you wish you had,
is lost somewhere in your dreams...
and though you often try...
you're told you won't succeed.

You never really get enough,
you're always wanting more...
blamed on others' conscious,
but it's really only yours.


Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes.
Want nothing & you will have everything.

Amazing! you are an excellent poet and i loved this one. the only part that stood out was the "When times get too tough,
all you want to do,
is find someone to love,
someone to love you." because the tempo seemed to have changed there considerably. keep up the great work Gurl

Wonderfully written Heather. This piece hit home, because much like John I have similar problems.

Oh and thanks for the positive review on my poem yesterday.

Hey Heather,

Sorry it has taken me so long to post on this poem, I’m a little behind on yours…

I really liked this, I think it might be one of my top ten favorites by you!
Knowing me I usually tell you if there’s something I don’t like about a poem, well on this one I must tell you that there is NOTHING I do not like about it… For me the whole thing is perfect! Well, as perfect as perfect can be.

My favorite stanza would have to be the first one though, I can understand/relate well to it… Having had it happen to myself all the time! I think you used the perfect words to describe it though.

Once again great job on your poem! I can not wait to see some more from you in the near future

"You never really get enough,

but it's really only yours."

I LOVEEEE how you ended it :-) Thought it really brought the whole idea together. And even better, you put into words what I'd always thought but could never explain. Great job!
