The Window

Just some thoughts.

Through the window

the hustle and bustle appeals

to my overflowing mind and mouth

dripping with words

but do I dare leap in?

Dare I expose

                      my eccentricities?

Do I want them all to know

That I am in fact really myself?

Should I ignore my hunger to live, all to nurture my fear of rejection?

What I'm not meant to run among everyone else?

What if jumping into the pool of life

Destroys my chances for bigger and better things?

I close the window.

nice poem very nice stanza and tempo

This is short, sweet, and very meaningful. I can really relate to it--I think almost everyone can! You should really write more like this. It reminded me a little bit of Ellen Hopkins's writing style, even though she wrotes whole books with this. Good job!
