Call me damned

for my choices

are breaking and smudging

the lines drawn to help me;

save me from this mess,

where nothing is known

and everything's moving,

<o:p> </o:p>

You can't snatch a choice

before it slips away �?/SPAN>

<o:p> </o:p>

Call me crazy, for thinking

this would ever work

and I could be a child

to change children's lives.

I was foolish and wrong

with that choice,

But don't call me stupid

for saying I won’t give up.

Noone could ever call you that, Katy, did you read my thanks in General, I wonder.
 
This has a tinge of my own thoughts when I was your age....
 
"and I could be a child

to change children's lives."

I wrote as a child from experiences and  the cathatic release of hurt and then when older,  wondered "What if another read this and realises it does become easier to live and contend with life?" Niether foolish nor wrong to think one could ever change the future...but for sure, Katy, we can change the way we accept it. Enjoyed this thoughtful piece, Zy

Hi Katy, well someone who can write a poem of this high standard, is hardly stupid!  You obviously have a very questioning mind, which is wonderful - and shows in all your thoughtful poems.

A wonderful poem which shows a strong and thoughtful mind, certainly not a stupid one. Stay strong and live long! Never doubt yourself, or what others think of you. Always stay positive :) xxx

Hello Zy,
 
I've just read it. Thank you :-)
 
I think you probably thought a lot of the same things that I do. Umm...it seems it so often though. Life = confusing, people = the things which make it that way.
 
But I made sure I didn't put my work down this time - which I was about to, I still don't like this poem. I want to write but don't think what I write has enough much effect. I suppose if I did I wouldn't keep trying.
 
It's nice to know someone else thought the same thing.
 
Katy

Hi Emma,
 
It's just when random people you don't know seem to look down on you because you're younger. Or push in front of you in the queue, now that is patronising!
 
I suppose it's good. But I don't like questions which don't have answers, and there are lots of them.
 
Katy

Hi lb,
 
Actually, I do like those lines (I didn't before). I couldn't write - I was having a mental block, so decided fluffy description wasn't the way to start writing again. I will, with the added force of wanting to prove people wrong (people who don't believe in me)! :-)
 
Thank you!
 
Katy

Hi Steve,
 
Had a bit of a mental block - this was all I could find, so I hoped for the best!
 
Thanks for reading,
 
Katy

Hi, (um...I can't remember your name!! Sorry!!)
 
I can pretend I am always thoughtful...(can't find the halo emotican)
 
As I said before, I can only try...or give up, but I think I'll opt for 'trying'!
 
Katy
