Dear Sarah:Dear Sarah,
I’m writing a letter to you,
In my head
From across the room
Don’t worry, I wont send it
You’ll never read this
You’ll never know I was thinking this
You could never read me
So well as you thought you could.

Dear Sarah,
Wishing you where here
Sitting close beside me
We are miles away… miles away…
Sitting in this awkward silence
Alone together
While our friends talk
And laugh
And play.

You don’t see me
You don’t know me
So well as you think you do
I’d really like you to
I like you
But you’re not so interested
Not so interested as me
I’m sending you a p

This Art Is ShitIf I knew then what I knew now, maybe I might have appreciated my work a little more.

I always used to compare myself to the other artists that I would see, artists much older than me, with the training and the experience I didn't have. It didn't seem to matter to me where they came from, just that they where good and I was not. If I had understood at the time that someday, with perseverance, study and practice that I too might be ask good as them, maybe I might have worked a little harder, studied a little more and not been so down on myself.

Now I look back on a lot of the artists who were my idols, megabytes worth of their art saved to m

So many things to do
But I can’t concentrate tonight
Somehow I can’t convince myself
That everything will be all right
I don’t think I’ll be ok
And all my friends seem to know
But the only one here to call on me
Is the rain, rapping on my window

And through the rippling glass
Again, I sit and stare
Down the empty city streets
And sure enough, she’s there
In pigtails and pink ribbons
Ignorant of her age
Dancing for her unseen audience
Upon the asphalt stage

Tell me little figurant
How to dance beside my dreams
How to hear laughter though my tears
Teach me nothing’s as it seems
And make me believe it,
Beautiful rain dancer
Let me spend some time with you
Tell me why I act this way
And do the things I do

Then teach me how to be like you

Little ballerina
Teach me to dance in the rain
Tie ribbons in my hair
And let me be like you again

Free me from my pragmatic chain

This poem is at least 2 years old now, but that's ok. I'm leaving now, I'm not really sure when I'll be back. So far I've given all my old watchers a little something but my poetry friends. So here's one of the first poems I ever posted on DA back on my old account. It's not long, but I hope you enjoy it now as much as you did two years ago.

I've discouraged critique this time. I've had this piece critiqued over and over and over and over and this time I'd just like it to be. Take it for what it is or leave it alone.

One way you can upload a poem is to go into Sta.sh writer and type it in, or you can copy and paste the words into Sta.sh writer.

By submitting the properly formated document to the poem section in the categories.

and you may never know that the light you shone was a beacon for some unseen stranger... even if for just a moment.

This is so wonderful. Especially the extended metaphor in the last lines of the second stanza. *claps*

It's almost inspiring. Scratch that. It IS inspiring.
