The Tiger/Kitten Paradox

[Rhiannon]

Good morning how are you i'm leaving today
i'm sorry i love you but must go away
i can't explain it but i can't deny it
i just know this is what i need to do
i've slowly gone crazy
in this pressured environment
now the green hue on the blackboard enchants me
but only for my viewing pleasure
just like the black ink smeared on my hand
and the ferocious tiger in innocent kittens
with pale orange strips
and beautiful fur that's soft to the touch
i don't want to leave you
but i'm afraid that i must
i'm sorry i'll miss you
i'll never forget you
but now i must go to a brand new dimension
and no don't come with me
i must go alone
it's a special place reserved for these crazies like me

fuck you seyton... i haven't seen one post where you've said something positive. either find something nice or helpful to say or get the fuck off the board.
And couldn't you feel it by the words she used? couldn't you feel the pain she was in when she wrote it? if not, you shouldn't be reading poetry at all... and you damn well don't have the authority to insult it.
have you even posted a poem?

It sounds like you did what you thought was best for someone you love instead of being selfish and holding on to make yourself happy. It's true that things are never like they seem. Good for you on recognizing that.
