It’s time for me to mature, but I feel so lonesome, got no one by my side. I need a buddy. Cos’ There’s a lot of emptiness around here. You fit in, but I’m not you. I think I’m going nuts. You know anyone who cares? Cos’ I’m surrounded by faded people. But even black women got shades. Fighting in the shadows. And I don’t wanna have to charm boys, I don’t wanna have to need you, I don’t ever want to fall in love, Still I do. All I want to is to grow up. Cos’ I’m sick and tired of being surrounded by faded people. But even black ladies got shades.
"Faded people" is a great perception. As we grow older I suppose whatever it is that is us will grow weaker and eventually lose its triumph and fade. Fade and fall away and forget. I like the growing strength and confidence you have in the conversational or confessional part of poetry. Keep writing!
Thanks Kidder..nice with a little support Well..It is kind of a confession this isn't it? I think I wrote this because I don't feel like I belong where I live...and I want to try to tell people who I really am..weird?
Cassi, unless we feel out of place with who we are or where we are we won't have the ability to write effectively. We need dissonance in our lives to feel alive. But we also need a home to lay our heads. Hope you find some happiness there.
So Kidder...I guess you maybe are a bit deeper then me, what? *lol* A I bet there's a lot of people feeling out of place longing for some kind of "home". Well, I hope they'll all find what it whatever it may be. I'm not sure what I'm looking for, love perhaps? Looking for someone who will love me for who I am...and who knows maybe I'll find someone, but I'm too young to worry 'bout it. Let's live a little what, Kidder? Let's change the world!!
It's spring. And what season is more luscious and full and promising? Time to forget the faded and hug the green and rough and bold and proud. Let's all leave our problems for the dying days of summer. Write on!
i love it! it shows problems that have unfoled through time, never ending.. situations all too commong making things boring. hmm, i enjoyed it very much. it read easy and i wonder where your ideas came from.. seems liek you were observing people walking down the street for some reason.. too bright outside for me anyway.. bravo, and thanks for sharing.. my name is cotl by the way, hello

Kidder; Ok buddy, mabye leave the problems behind for a while...I think I can manage that well. I hope to hear from you soon again, luv. Cot; Hi! I'm Cassi..nice to hear from you!

i wanted to reply to the lines: "even black women got shades,...and,.. even black ladies got shades" those two line are SO deep! I love the way u didn't repeat yourself again,.....very, very deep, and street wise, very smart,...it tied the whole poem together, it made the final thrust..... to the poetry.* (sigh) Beautiful, cass,.....very touching and deep.
hi bobby! well black women also got shades...and the repeating just kind of came naturally, but i think it's good...i suppose this is one of my better poem, huh? thanks for your support bobby luv ya!
