It Takes Time

Smiles come and go

as do the tears.

I can seem to glow,

then sccumb to my fears.

 

There's no need to lie.

The hurt is hard to console,

but I hold my head up high

because it's not in control.

 

There's no reason to dawn,

to talk about that day.

We all know what went on,

so there's nothing to say.

 

I don't need the aid.

I'm fine on my own.

I'm not afraid,

just need to be alone.

 

At times the tears will flow

or I will strike out in spite,

but you need to know

that I'll be alright.

 

I will continue to believe.

It can't make me stop.

I hope that you can see

somehow I'll end up on top.

[The Empty Hour Glass]

An inspirational piece, though I don't think I've ever felt like this. Well, sometimes a pessimist can't relate. Anyhow - a wonderful little poem.

So many times in our lives we do need to just be alone to work out our own problems..It is then that we get the interference..Nice one..Valentine

Its not about enjoying someone's life or pain ...it's about really listening to them speak as best and full as they can. You were heard...

[Trigorin]

You have a good concept here, but some of your execution comes across as a little bit of an expression of juvenile angst, which isn't necessarily bad, but it is very, very done, after all, and I'd be careful to make sure that this is in some way different from all the other poems out there about this same topic. So far, I'm not seeing anything really unique.

It sounds like an expression of a juvenile angst because I am a juvinile, In was experencing angst, and I'm from a little town in AR. There isnt much that happens to be unique when you write from feelings and experiences. everything I know is from this one small town.
