"That Guy"
The guy everyone knew
The guy everyone wanted to be like
The guy who had it all
The guy who put it all on the line
The guy all the girls liked
The guy who struggles to keep fatal thoughts from his mind
The guy who one day would take his life
Why you ponder, because he was never able to show his true passions.
Why you wonder, because he never had a best friend, a true friend.

This one reminds me of E. A. Robinson's poem, "Richard Cory."

Never noticed that before
That is a great observation, I hadn't made that connection before. Thank you
When I was first taught
When I was first taught poetry, in ninth grade (and, at that time, I disliked it intensely; how ironic), "Richard Cory" was one of the first poems we were assigned to read. That was forty-nine years ago; and your poem immediately resonated like a reply to it. So I was very impressed.

Im so sorry
I knew so many of "that guy" it's heartbreaking. I was almost "that girl"
Wow. This one grabbed my
Wow. This one grabbed my attention. I could write my own about being "That Girl". And I think that we can ALL relate to this one. We all feel as if we have to fit into the categories that society blindy places us in. Pieces like this are what separate you from the rest of the world. Fantastic job:)

So, as life is the mirror of desire....do not find yourself becoming that much despised shadow. I like this. It speaks volumes about who you are. Yah, dude, you bet I do understand. I am new here, but not to the muse. I have been crafting poetic expression for 40 years, now. Age means nothing....to the aether. Please add me.

my comment...
ok. to simplify...sometimes we hate something so much....we start acting and feeling like that very thing? I just said to not let the hate, dislike, w/ever turn you into the kind of person you don't really want to be. Sorry for the way I talk, but I do deal with a lot of strange thinking poets and artists every day. We tend to be a weird bunch, who speak in a language not everyone can understand. You write very well. Do you post your stuff on different sites?
