I never knew
I never knew that I was losing you
Everyone knows I'm in love with you

The thing I was afraid of the most

Failure

Submitted by Ron from Savannah on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 8:35pm

If failure's a habit... i have it.
Thought I could nab it... i haven't.
I get so mad at my sadness
if I could grab it I'd stab it.
The things i lack - it is tragic.

Going Back Home

Submitted by Tha Best Poet on Sun, 07/11/2010 - 11:52am

I just want to see my folks
