Array ( [sid] => 108774 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Clairvoyance [time] => 2005-10-30 21:41:04 [hometext] => I was having one of my random days of actual insight when I wrote this...and hey. To a 13 year old, this was pretty good. ^^ [bodytext] => Once we’re grown up
Once we’re mature
Are we still the same folks
That we once were?

Once we do away
With our dolls and toys
Can we still be
Those little girls and boys?

When we’re at school
And find we care
About what we do
And what we wear

When we don the cap
And wear the robe and gown
We’ve acquiesced to our fates
And we can’t back down

We shoot for the moon
We shoot for the stars
We concern ourselves
With jewels and cars

We look all around us
For something we know
For something from our past
For something from long ago

I suppose I can say
That I think it’s true
We are what we are
We do what we do

When we grow up
And begin anew
Keep in thought
In heart and mind
That I’ll still be me
And you’ll still be you. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 198 [topic] => 43 [informant] => ChibiMiroku [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

These thoughts are profound. And considering your age I must say the way you conveyed them so artistically speaks to your clairvoyant abilities, if not then to your obvious talent. Keep up the thoughts, and the writing will always have meaningful content.

Great poem

i liked the rhythm most in this. you also had nice rhymes to accentuate that point of your poem. i liked the professionalism and style. now you can say a 16 year old likes it as well. =]
