No One

Just when you think life is pretty good
Life screws you over like you knew it would
Nothing goes right, it all comes crashing down
You watch as it comes burning to the ground
All your hopes and dreams collapse in seconds
The gun stares at you and it's you it beckons

Who are you, please explain?
Only a nobody, completely insane
Would they care if you're gone?
They wouldn't even need a "so-long"
One out of millions, no one cares
Tried and tried searching to find no one there

Months have died, they've moved on just fine
No one has cried; I lay in the lonely grave of mine

Looked and looked inside of me
Nothing, just a pathetic tragedy
Just a heartfelt ransom to nothing
She just needed some encouraging
Now she's gone forever more
She never knew she meant a whole lot more
Once again, the apologies came too late
Here to eternity, she is no one; yet, she still waits

Wow.. realli well written.. a tad cynical and depressing, but powerful and good

really really factual and relly nice. did you write it?

Oy. *claps*

wow kathleen did u write that all by urself? cus if u did...thats one awesome poem!! if u wrote that.... seems like ur sad!! awww cheer up^^

Hehe yes, I wrote it. Thanks Grace, Eve, and Susan.

I don't get along well with poetry. I'm much more of a prose person.

That's because you're a genius. I'm sorry. I bow down to you.

Thank you. That was prose-ic.

nice poem.. ::
but i dont get it..
iam not a poem person

You don't get my poem?

Isn't it about a suicidal person?

We had to put you on suicide watch at the Bethel Tournament, remember?

Yeah, it's about a suicidal person who dies with no one to care for her after her death. Heh. It's really not that hard to comprehend. Yeah...I'll still be on suicide watch for the next tournaments, Minda...especially the ones I'll go up against you, Ralph, or Dan at.

- Dan Boada is dead. (Ok, not really, but he was wounded in a track meet so he can't go to CFLs. If it happens again he might die).
- I'm a senior. (Ok, not really, but everyone thinks I am. Maybe this applies to judges as well).
- Ralph is Ralph. (Ok, not really, he's an evil robot controlled by John Ashcroft).

Haha and that's supposed to comfort me...how? Ack - wait. You're Minda, you never comfort me - you just scare me more. When did that happen to Dan? Ahh we need to stop acting like this is a chat. >_<

Dan was injured doing track...

clear cut, dark, and expressive. like an ususpecting knife in ure back in a moonlit graveyard. yum.

Hehe. You know what, I was going for something like that.
