examining the world through
layers of

Usually acrostic poems are very, sorry to say, boring, "halloween" acrostics, and especially name acrostics. However, this was absolutely insane. I loved it--it had a very nice flow, and I feel like I know your friend through just those few lines.

Did you want it to be EXACTLY 100 characters, or is there like a 100 character minimum?

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;

Is it this? You rant about 100 characters minimum for this poem, right? Anyway, kudos to you. :)

...one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love....I love...I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. -Mr. Darcy
