Who was I then
When I gave in
To the weakness
Of being human?

The obscurity of
My past
Seeps in
The cracks of what I am

It shaped the mind
I hide within
The one that
Bleeds my tears

If only I
Could stop
My thoughtless thoughts
And ignore the memories

Maybe your face
Will go away
And I’ll take your penny
For my thoughts

I've found friends...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you..."

So smart. So clever. Moving.

Maybe your face
Will go away
And I’ll take your penny
For my thoughts

I just have to sit and think after reading your work. It seems that it has relevance to /everything/.

Stella already picked out my favorite lines. This one, well, I'm not exactly sure how to comment...it's a very thought-provoking piece. Thanks for sharing, little sister.

MMLM,

Jess took my words “thought provoking” that’s what I was gonna say, but oh well, it was “intriguing”. Anyways, its an interesting piece here. My favorite part…

If only I
Could stop
My thoughtless thoughts
And ignore the memories

Can't imagine what else could go wrong
Sometimes I'd like to hide away
Somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost, but not the war"

"My thoughtless thoughts"

Very impressive. I had to read it several times, for it to sink in, but I like your style and I appreciate what you're saying. A clever and deep piece of writing indeed.

Kari,
Whats the deal because I was so sure that I had already posted for this one! Then I was reading it again and realized I hadn't!! Just slap me!

If your thoughts are only worth a penny to this person- its time to find someone new!!
'A penny for your thoughts' is a cute saying...but it sucks all the same! Anyhow Im done now!

I like the poem you have written here. You are very talented. Have you considered the idea of putting your creations in a special gazette or something.

Wow.

I'm actually quite embarrassed by this poem. You should read some of my work now. It's much better. But this did bring a little jolt in my stomach, seeing Stella's name up there. Thank you for pulling it up. I was looking through Quoteland, and I was surprised to remember that this poem was mine.

-Kari.
