Ha- I wanted a catchy title so people would read this... I hope I got your attention. : ) The title of the poem is “I Need You”… I want input… please comment and tell me what you think. Many can say they’ve had a lifetime of regrets, And I can’t deny that I’ve had mine. But another added to the list Is one regret never missed. An

She sounds amazing, many woman would die to have the love that you have for her. She is very lucky. I hope she knows that. A man that writes poetry from the heart is in the words of true love. ~Shadow

So many things I regret, so many things I wish I had never done. I realized I learned valuable lessons from each of these mistakes, but maybe… I learned the most by watching exactly what I missed. When I was hurt the most… exactly one year ago, there was one person who was there for me unconditionally. His name was David. David and I have always been really

I am irritated with false friends. The people who said (and might still say) they will always be there for you… but they never are. In fact, when you needed a friend the most... they turned their back to you and walked away. You then question yourself, what have I done wrong? What did I do that was so terrible for everyone to turn their back to me? Did

He walked by, As softly as a kiss, As quiet as the twilight. He walked by. So where this path shall lead us, None shall know. But he walked by… I felt his presence. He walked by, But stopped right behind me. The feeling lingered in the air But, he walked on. I felt fear arise A deathly pale fear The ty

I know exactly how you feel. I want to find HIM also. He’s out there, there’s one for each of us. But, time and patience is what it takes…. And he will fall right into your arms (hopefully mind also). Good luck to you Island_gurl. ~Shadows

Wonderful writing Zoo. I love the way you shifted the real issue between the two poems and gave them two different perspectives. We all live behind masks… because sometimes, a person only shows another what they’re ready to see. We all pretend to be someone else…so the person you think you know, might not be. Though these masks sometimes are necessary for everyone else’s happiness. So a person hides in vain to protect everyone

I don’t think you could be any closer to the truth. People wear masks to protect themselves, and hide. They constantly feel as though they are doing something to upset someone. They feel like their problems just hurt other people… This leads to the mask… they cover everything up so no one is hurt. Only later do they realize they are hurting themselves. I wear a mask… but I think it is for the good of everyone I know. I try to b

Anorexia is the psychological condition in which young women (and sometimes men) refuse to eat to become thin Bulimia is the physical condition in which a person purges their food after they are done eating it. There is a woman, who is a hero to me and hopefully to many other people. Her name is Emma Igelstrom. For those who don’t know

People mispronounce the English language so frequently, that it is custom for people to accept the incorrect forms. Here is a sample of general words that are mispronounced everyday… 1. Revelant… the correct term is Relevant. 2. Realator… No, it is Realtor, someone who helps you buy or sell a home. 3. “I seen”… God, that phrase just sounds retarded.

I am Lutheran, and I can’t say I agree with the restriction the Catholic Church set against women holding priesthood. It is again… another double standard. I know, the Catholic Church is a patriarchal institution… but what is the issue with having women involved? The church view women primarily as wives and mothers… why? Why can’t a wife be a priest? Why

Fake tanning… hmm… in my book this is a very interesting topic. Ok, everyone knows what fake tanning is. You lay in a “tanning bed” for about 20 minutes. For that 20 minutes you get 3 hours worth of concentrated sunlight. You come out and look like a giant orange. If you want to be orange, just use self-tanning lotion… take my word on it. Now, if

Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon. Lies are what destroy everything we ever knew and believed in. So the simple answer is to tell the truth, right? Wrong, half of the damn society has a problem with that. I don’t lie... whether it’s about something I’ve done or never done. I just don’t lie. People will call me a liar… which I still

There’s a party tonight. I have decided not to go for two reasons… Three guys have asked me to go with them; I have told each of them I am going to go solo this time… They are all friends of mine, and I don’t want them to try to start a relationship with me there. I have been trying to heal from a disastrous relationship for 4 months now, and getting into a

Love is something so beautiful, words cannot accurately describe it. But, the true question is… when do you know you’re in love? Deep down that seems to be the only question I have to ask. There is a guy, he is absolutely perfect. He is handsome, extremely academic, funny, kind… everything anyone could ever ask for. But, it’s not like I have had feelings
