    AM I ALIVE

    Somethings getting in my way I'm about to break I need a fight to put me in my place give me meaning to this unknown race help me I hear the clock ticking away the time i'm running out why what is this feeling of unease this dark feeling so comforting I thought i'd be dead by 25 but here I am still alive another a sister who died at 17 cries for me to open my eyes i'm hurting I cry in my mind disturbed I try to understand why I made a promise broken now is this the will of my tao my chi my ki the escence in me my karma to try to help in my eyes but get slapped aside to waste away I have this potential locked in me can't you see i'm told about it till their blue in the face but I do not see this talent in me a great engineer i'd make from one to be able to make ships out of cardboard tape and nail clippers is that talent I say anyone could do it I say I do not see what they see in me something so simple so plain a talent it's not it's my shame a writer some say I should become shoot my self with my own gun I say I can't write for fun deadlines what are those something that cannot go I cannot I say be a writer for I can never fall under anothers time my time like my mind is my own but not even that it gives as it wills a master I am not my fate is to rot a prisoner to my own doings my own cofidence so shattered that no master can rebuild it's wall of determination or pride I will my self to do the one thing I can survive

    This dearheart is a very profound and very heart touching work. As for punctuation, sure it helps.. tho I dont deem it necessary all the time. This is a great read.. your feelings filling my heart and welling my eyes with tears.. Read my poem.. its not all that good.. called untitled emotion.. I know you will relate to it.. especailly the comment i put above it.. Hugs and more. hugs. In reading my comment and poem.. it shows to you that a reader does not always need help to read or follow ones message.. I for one did not need help. Im always here to listen hun, if you would like me to.. Hugs SG.. xoxo

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
