u r too kind.. My past has aged my soul. I am wiser for it.
A ox

me too.
And yes this site has attracted a lot of old souls.
As a tourtured soul is often an old one, as is a giving personality.. it is our reason for being.
And fate is a hard battle to win.

I want to go back to basics.
I want to live off the land completly.
I want real friends who really care and a little commuity near by where we all know each other
Where time doesnt matter
And there is no illnesses or diease.

I think we have as much mental illness in our world as we do because of the way we live now. A person can feel so insignificant next to a million others.

Expressing yourself does wonders… but from a publishing POV your no Jack Kerouac… Just being honest. I scour the web for talent. I see pain but no talent. Ouch it’s my job… I have no talent but I do have an eye.

haah yeah I was only very young when I wrote that, I wont quit my day job.. I love it too much lol

It is a beautiful poem, reading through the poem and all the comments, I feel well it wasnt just I who felt that way about life, about loosing my innocence and about “growing” to fit into the adult world

thanks for your comment
This poet too felt the loss off innocence. About not wanting to turn away from childhood.
Never forget what it was like being a child hun. It was a magical time.

THE BAY by James K Baxter

On the road to the bay was a lake of rushes
Where we bathed at times and changed in the bamboos.
Now it is rather to stand and say:
How many roads we take that lead to Nowhere,
The alley overgrown, no meaning now but loss:
Not that veritable garden where everything comes easy.

And by the bay itself were cliffs with carved names
And a hut on the shore beside the Maori ovens.
We raced boats from the banks of the pumice creek
Or swam in those autumnal shallows
Growing cold in amber water, riding the logs
Upstream, and waiting for the taniwha.

So now I remember the bay and the little spiders
On driftwood, so poisonous and quick.
The carved cliffs and the great outcrying surf
With currents round the rocks and the birds rising
A thousand times an hour is torn across
And burned for the sake of going on living.
But I remember the bay that never was
And stand like stone and cannot turn away.

i love this poem and the way it portrais lifes problems as the sky suddenly turning dark and the world feeling dirty and kinda abused. also how the children deal with there problems shows that everyone is different in the way they show emotion and figure out whats wrong with there life. then how to fix it :) 10/10 (y)

wow I havent got a score like that for…. ages lol
Its true story. We all coped with the loss differently.
Thanks heaps.

Wow, Amelia, your poem is beautiful. I noticed that someone made a comment that you were no Jack Kerouac, but that’s okay we’ll let Jack be Jack. Your an original, you clearly touched a lot of people with it here. I don’t know what happened but judging from the words in the poem, things were obviously very painful and rough, but you rose above it; you have the right attitude. Those dark nights of the soul, they’re either going to break you, or they’re going to make you. You take care of yourself honey, you have a remarkable talent, no matter what anyone else says, it is remarkable, and you are beautiful. Keep smiling…L..;-)

Wow thank u so very much! I was young when I wrote that.. It was the hardest time of my life. And I had a mental breakdown at 15. But yes I am strong now. I put this poem here as a way to say to others.. I have felt the lowest of lows and am still standing and am stronger than ever.
Thanks again, your kind words made my day.

Your welcome honey. 15, wow, you clearly had it rough; we have something in common. It seems like once you got it figured out something else comes up, I am going through a dark night of the soul right now. (Check my post, please: http://help.com/post/317392-im-seekin…)

By the way, I hope you don’t my asking, but how old are you? You look so young in your picture…;-)…L

haha thanks.. Ill be 30 years old in a week. Still get asked 4 I.D lol

lomree wrote:
30!? WOW! You don’t look a day over 18…thanks for the friend, by the way, how do do that? I can’t find the friend button on here…LOL…L

go and click on account admin next to public profile at the top of this page and click that, then click on friends…
To request anyone else as a friend u can click on that pic of a little person next to their name on the right of the megaphone icon. That sends them a request.
Good luck!

You have a way of saying things. The way you put yourself out there and hope you help others inspires me. Thankyou.

thank u anon. I amazes me I still get replies to my poem.
I put myself out there because I have nothing to lose. I just want to help because I can. There doesnt have to be anything in it for me.
Ive lived alone for a number of years now and probably had too much thinking time lol.
If you write poetry please send me invite to your post. I love to read it.

Thanks hun. I was good because I had a strong message to portray. Now though my poems are a lot weaker because I not as emotionally fueled as I was then.
Ill go check your stuff out!..
