Insight Counts

To get out of the dark,

and into the light,

by the sweat of your brow

you work your way up

Up to the top, but then you

fall down again

 

You look around

for someone to help,

but they all look at you,

not understanding,

 

They walk around the

hallways,

with bright new sneakers,

and you think,

If they walked a day in your old

shoes,

maybe things will change

 

Their blank eyes fill up with knoweledge,

they lend a hand...

and you go

up,

up,

up,

and you

never

ever

stop

[Jane Maguire]

An inspirational poem.

[The Purple Kazoo]

hi pamelallen!! one problem with the poem--i think you have a typo: isn't "and youup" supposed to be "and you goup" or something like that? :P otherwise it's great, lots of emotion, very real.
