Very good! I remember writing one of these. Mine happened to be on emotion is weakness. I like yours. It's much better than mine.

See you on Thursday!

well, since you insist... ^.~

your writing generally gets me thinking. i think this is one of the pieces that sort of ... hit home, persay. i like your use of free verse. it makes it more effective. a few lines ringing more clearly in my head than others...:

How can they stand aloneWhen it threatens to buckle the will of one such as I?~~ really makes a point of raw emotion ~~

No being can be so strongAs to reject any shred of friendshipFor no one can rely solely on themselfIn the universe in which we reside~~brings a million thoughts to mind,thoughts not yet reconciled im sad to say~~

Has fate decided that I am unworthy of livingOf living in this so-called paradise?

Tell me the reason in livingI don't want to live a lieI don't want to live a meaningless life~~ neither do i. ~~

Do not tell me that without suffering . . .Compassion does not existFor it is clear that even with the painCompassion does not exist~~ i must agree.. but i also see some truth in the idea that it depends on point of view, it just never seems to be mine. ~~

There is no more trust in this worldIt is so evident that I can feel the radiating negativityI can taste the despair that has seeped into the corpses of menAnd I can feel my own hopes failing and suffocating my soul

Because I'm dying deep insideWith no one there to helpYes, I will become one of the living deadFor there's no way to survive~~ the idea is heart wrenching, if not bitterly plausible ... or in progress. ~~

continue writing Sapphire jewel, i look forward to reading.

P.S. yes, i do occasionally come to read your writings. actually.. today, something prompted me to. im sure you know what it was.
