    Two Years Later

    “A loner.” Just lonely.
    “Aggressive.” No, defensive.
    “Angry.” Desperately unhappy.
    “Has no taste in girls.” Sees hidden beauties.
    “Has no talent.” Too afraid to show his many talents.
    “Too quiet in class.” Busy thinking, contemplating what he sees and hears.
    “Temperamental.” Pushed too far for amusement.
    “Shouts too much in games.” Needs to release his emotions somehow.

    (Two years later…)

    “Is that seriously what he used to be like?
    You can’t possibly be talking about the same person!
    I heard he writes poetry and everything these days.
    I’d almost say he’s cool now… but not to his face!”

    Again, this is one of my "early" pieces. It's received some good reviews from the lads at school. Nowhere near my favourite though. It ties in with some of the ideas in "Help Him". (eg bullying)

    I really like it. Made me smile, which is impressive tonight. A bit formless (not that it needs form), but it strikes the right chord at 4am.

    Its odd, but that is perhaps why i like it so much. I had to read it twice but then it clicked, and I likes it a lot. The changing opinions of people. Works well with my current mindframe.
    Keep it up.

    again, thanks for the compliments! i've a few others that are much more structured (sonnets, a few haikus, etc). I would post them, but I'm a bit concerned about the whole copyright thing. Not too sure how it works! I don't want my favourite ones copied/stolen.
