Genius Child

What do you tell the genius child?

Wise in mind

sad of heart;

Aching to belong,

always outside.

(Hold me, hold me,hold me,

say the eyes of the genius child.)

Accustomed to being alone,

learning early never to be lonely.

Wanting to be understood;

needing to be loved.

Living in a world

where few understand them.

Yes, a very good point..........what do you tell them?
So important to remember they are still children and not emotionally mature yet......very thoughtful piece.

touches me.

[Wondering Mind]

Stop wondering is what I'd say!! But seriously, this is a very different(unique) piece of writing...As the unique mind you portray

Fortunately my genius child was lucky enough to have a genius mother. ;)

Really interesting piece- I would fix the small error as Alicia mentioned, but otherwise, this was very well written. Great repetition at the end. Nicely done.

what indeed and 'how' do you speak to the world of the child who dreams out of general human sequence~ beautifully written~

An interesting poem, however, there's a slight error; in the first line, you said "what do tell," but you said "what do you tell" in the last one. But other than that, I loved the words you chose. The font's a little too big, though.
