Vanity

Not all of us are built this way.

Pain seems to erase time

As the world keeps spinning on its axis

I find my body remains near

The peak of unchanging seasons

And I

Will never find

My way back home.

Yes, I will forever envy your tears

As they will never flow in the empty channels beneath your feet.

Your world

Will never crash and crumble

In the eyes of your

Oppressors.

No, I’ve never blamed you for my mistakes

It’s just always been this way.

Unlike you,

So unlike you,

I will never float through air completely mindless

Nor will I ever find a lasting happiness;

See the plains as they rise and fall,

Calmly in the distance

Of which eases your mind.

No, I will never see.

I’ll remain a sillouette in your broken dreams.

i do like this poem, you do speak the truth of what you see and what you beleive. and i hate to give bad reviews but i do wanna point out one thing the way you have lines five six ad seven are a little odd. i had to reread it twice bcause i usually o a pause at the end of each line and with those lines the pause makes them sound funny. just think about it you might want to put them togeher or somehow idk, make them flow a little better. but other than that i like the poem i like its meaning goodjob and good write. :)

LOVE THIS, your last line is utterly amazing. i also like, "Yes, I will forever envy your tears As they will never flow in the empty channels beneath your feet."

With a pleasant flow and an awesome image portraying in my mind, this is fantastic.
