Since people are on a poetry kick..

[Starlight]

You think you have stress? Try having barely enough money to live and to eat, paying bills, no car, getting ready to move, my husband gone for his job, finding my own way to work, being in a state where I have NO family, no financial help, and college deadlines. <p>Now talk to ME about STRESS.<p>But see, the difference between you and me is that I don't take my problems out on other people.<p>[size=small][Edit by Starlight on [TIME]1115248666[/TIME]][/size]

I'm sorry if I seemed harsh there. I also apologize that I haven't been sensitive towards your feelings and your own problems. I need to realize too that other people have troubles in life. I guess I'm overly emotional right now and I tend to get in "survival mode" ... as a result I don't think about other people as much as I should.<p>I'm sorry that you've been having a rough time, too, as I can relate. But, it will be ok, whatever it is, Dreamer, and it always gets better. I know things won't always be this hard.<p>We are here for you whenever you need us.

OK you two...calm down...Its ok to be stressed let's not flipp out though....

Indeed, Ein.<br><blockquote>I gave up on trying to get mine published when my english teacher ripped it up and threw it away (because it didnt go with her veiws on the subject...)</blockquote> <br>Hm, people like that are often wrong. Don't pay any heed to her.<br><blockquote>Newbies. They are so cute.</blockquote> <br>Yeah, self aggrandizing supremacy <i>is</i> fun. <br><blockquote>You think you have stress?</blockquote> <br>I love this statement, especially online. As if having high levels of stress are any merit, as if somehow comparing your stresses <b>online</b> to an intangible person will earn you respect or make you seem any tougher. I don't mean to single out any one person Starlight, you merely got caught this time.<p>In any case, a very thought provoking poem, Khyron.

LS i love you man, somehow you always cvrack me up

[LaconianShot]

I live to please, and I assure you that those sentiments are returned... you also always seem to find a way to crack me up.

Ah yes we are brothers from another mother who eat toast with butter and saw a camera with a shudder take a picture of a boat's rudder

...don't forget to suck a cow's udder. <p>Regarding the poem...it was very well done. I got some shivers. <br>Ein: What was your poem about? For a teacher to do that is an incredible waste and crime.

[Ein Tyrion]

We had to write something on the holocaust ....it could be: poem, essay, or timeline<p>I did poem it was like this<p>The flames of the creamatroy lept higher<br>As we grew closer we saw Dante's Fire<br>A doomed and cursed lineage we have gained<br>And now we're enduring this pain<br>Because of a man so insecure<br>That he would send a whole religion to a cremator<p>Thats just one verse, I wrote it in the eyes of a jewish concentration camp prisoner...<br>She didn't agree with the words or the idea (though i asked her the day before and she said it was ok...) SO i dunno<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Ein Tyrion on [TIME]1115253718[/TIME]][/size]

[Siren]

Hm...nice...I like the <i>Inferno</i> reference, too. I think you did a good job, including the shock value of the poem.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Siren on [TIME]1115254077[/TIME]][/size]

Thanks man, Unfortunately she didnt she it that way

Thanks for the compassion, by the way. I'm glad you can have dinner tonight.<p>Also, I didn't DO anything wrong.<p>Whatever. I'm out.

[Ein Tyrion]

...starlight...don't leave....

[Rika]

I can relate as I also am a poor college student. I'm sorry things have been tough. But I don't think you should leave. Siren -- it isn't important but Dreamer did start it.
