i just wrote this poem so i was wondering if u guys (and girls) could read it and tell me what you think! thanks! For the better or for the worse? Once you go back
You will never be the same
Ever since I left
Everything has been different
The small town
The secret hide outs
Woodsy campus
New friends
New life
Moving out at 14
Is
Complicated
Confusing
Uncertain
Unstable
Inexplicable
But most of all
Different
For the better
Or for the worse
We will never ever know
Now two homes I have
And family acts different
Friends are now family
And family is awkward
Mom wants me for herself
But I want to be here
Now home
With friends
Now family
And father
I rearly see
He is the one who made this possible
Doesn’t hear thank you enough
Works hard night and day
So does mom
And so do i
I will never know what it
Would have been like if I had stayed
I might have run away again
Lived on the streets
Unconfirmed
Free
The best four letter word
Is love
And yet
I would be unloved
If I had ran
I stayed
And used school
As an excuse to get away
To leave
To keep in contact
And yet not see them every day
I will never know
What it would have been like
Conforming
At an all girls
Catholic
Private
High school
With friends and teachers I knew
And who knew me
And my reputation
Here is better
I think
No one knows
The past is behind me
And it will be buried
And I will move on with my life
But will they accept me
Will they judge?
Will they ever read
The poems I have scribed?
Will they ever see this side of me?
The darker side?
The poet side?
Or will they only see the other side
Unathletic
Almost unsocial
Can I cover
My past?
Hide it forever?
Or is it part of me?
The darkness?
Like a burden
Like a scar
I carry it
Sometimes with pride
And others shamefully
Hiding it under false pretenses
Lying to avoid talking about it
Making things up
Or will it pop out
Find its way
Like a worm to the light
Blind but all seeing
To scare them when I
And they least excpect it?
Can I ever write?
And share?
And
Be myself
Be who I really am
Who I am meant to be?
Do I have to hide it?
have I changed?
How have I changed?
How long have I been this way?/
For the better?
Or for the worse?
Open?
Closed?
Shy?
What am I?
Will they ever understand?
That my life is more complicated then it seems?
That I have gone through things?
That are impossible to explain?
Will they ever know?
What things I have experienced?
The deaths?
The scares?
The accomplishments?
The humiliation?
The troubles?
My screwed up life?
Or will they catergorize?
Label?
Judge?
I will never know
Unless I take a chance
And tell
And see what happens
If my life goes more down the drain
Or if it gets better?
Indesicive
For the better or for the worse?
Answer:

Answer:

Answer:
You write your life so neatly, My eyes fell through it which is good, as usually I stop reading around the middle of a poem that big but I gotthrough it :) I liked it, be who you want to be and what makes you happy, never live by trying to fit into the shodows of others.
Answer:
thanks!!
Answer:
Good poem. You are starting to learn about real life! The ups and downs are a part of us all! Keep your chin up and walk tall! Daniel!
Answer:
Very nice. You have good rhythm and flow, and the way you tell your story really holds the readers attention. You've clearly come through a lot of real life hard living, and that, in my book at least, earns you a lot of respect.
