Syllables as notes/beats: I tend to drift off the pace a lot, this one has so much authentic rhythm, the meaning is secondary to the music - I listened to some rap recently - slim shady - it was an experience but I hung in there for about 10 riffs and then the lyrics turned to sex and I lost interest - be well ~~A~~
thanks: thanks. i have a bit of a hopeless romantic in me as well and sometimes it slips into my poetry. i do have a lot of poems, but i've slowed down on adding/sharing them. however, every so often i update. i'm glad you enjoyed my work.
Soul searching...nice topic.: Soul searching...nice topic. I found it necessary for myself and do it daily...sometimes lots before important decisions. We all have different reasons for being born.
Awww. This poem brings me a: Awww. This poem brings me a feeling of compassion for the writer. As always, nice work, but then I do love most everything you've written so far of what I've read. (you have a lot of poems!!)
I Love How You ideate: I read you over and over because each time there is more there. like rag blotted paper...something to ponder - the world/civilization descends and ascends simultaneously - the dichotomy is filled with tensions I enjoy in a writer with their thumb on the pulse of our days - be well and please keep writing - you do it so well ~A~
Yes, let's be friends. Sorry: Yes, let's be friends. Sorry I didn't ever see your comment until now. For some reason PP isn't sending me notifications. :/ Anyway, yes to fate! :)
OhmyGosh its nice to meet: OhmyGosh its nice to meet random new people :3
I always thought I needed the support of my friends, with them just being there with me, to help me through my struggles. But I guess not right?
Thank you. Over time Ive been: Thank you. Over time Ive been finding ways to try to keep calm during worst case scenarios. One of my teachers is actually trying to get me into meditation when she found out about me struggling. But yeah its really hard. Only time will heal these scars
It takes time and yearning to: It takes time and yearning to connect our physical existence to our soul, and especially so during adolescence I think. You are so much more than what you think you are. I do not think it would have changed who I am today had I known the power of meditation when I was a teenager, but I am sure it would not have been near as difficult.

You don't need them. You are: You don't need them. You are so much stronger. Just look at you reaching out in this poem. Do you know the strength that takes? Omg, I do not even know you and I am so proud to make even this online acquaintance!
regarding...: I think we should be friends, especially since I read this poem.
In chinese astrology I'm a monkey.

Maybe those same people who: Maybe those same people who do not like the things mentioned would take it personally if someone didn't want to watch football or listen to the eff bomb? I just take everything with a grain of salt these day. Takes all kinds to make a world...but the poem is good because it gets across the indignation. Nice, Karen.
I have an image of a homeless: I have an image of a homeless person with this poem, who is broken, yet putting every effort towards some sort of stabe environment through his/her trials of life. It made me feel compassion. Nice, mardigan.
I feel slightly jipped, I had: I feel slightly jipped, I had trouble reading this, not because of the words but because the title said bedrock and then that stupid song got stuck in my head and it was blaring while I read this...I blame the radio for the distruction of art ;P
I love the imagery and the: I love the imagery and the way you chose to express the guilt, corrosive, its just so real and raw, that is EXACTLY how guilt feels me, pleasureful read
Yes...like opening a gift: Yes...like opening a gift wrapped box from tiffany's that has something like cat do-do in it. I know someone who actually was gifted that once.
