I can pass for normal

eh. i dont particularly like this one, but i wrote it so i thought i would include it

I can pass for normal 

when I'm not myself I can function fine 

with a little bit of help It's then that I can talk to you It's then I could get close to you And then If I would walk with you I know I would get lost in you I want you But I can't let it go I want you But I will never know And if i touched you? Like she did Will it be alright? Or would I lose a friend?

Yah. A nearby emotion. We all know this. We dread this. But it's out there... With your few lines, you still hit the nail and hit it hard..Good Job..

There is so much emotion into that poem for sure. I like the conflict that the person is going through.

[Jillian Louise]

Very simple, yet presents a powerful message. Great writing.

loved it. dunno why you don't! your words, so simple, talk of something we all feel. the uncertainties of ruining friendship with love, lust. what society expects of us, and who we really are...you put everything so simply and made sense of it all.

this poem is good well paced and describes how i feel right now on valentine day. With no one sending me anything...

[The Wave]

I know how you feel honestly. I go through the same thing every day. I always can pass for normal when I need to but when I am alone I know I am not normal and that hurts me more than anyone can know. I struggle often enough to pass as normal. Trying not to show anything is wrong with me.

this is a great poem. the only thing i saw wrong with it is you broke your rhythm scheme. Other than that, great job.
