"These Lights"
January 4, 2012
They can't see
And they don't know
What they're doing to me
In this place that I know
I roamed the street
With my heart on my sleeve
Right where ends meet
But they won't believe me
The rain starts to pour
As I look througt their eyes
But all I want is more
And i see through their eyes
I hear their laughs
And I hear their cries
As I walk down the cold path
And I listen to their lies
I want to tell them
I've tried over and over again
But to them I'm not a jem
And it happens all over again
I watch their happieness
And wonder how they could be happy
When these lights make them see even less
Oh the irony

i really like this, but one item of criticism. It's really not the best idea to rhyme using the same word. It gets a little redundant... unless you're repeating a phrase... other than that, i love the poem!! great job and keep writing!! :)
