The answer to this question has much to do with ones age. Not everyone young lacks the ability to acknowledge others.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Difficult people: 33 of 125
I wake in the morning... and once again the feeling entraps those around This creature of habit, now more predictable than ever Knowledge which comes from education and work, now unable to blend To act so inappropriately, would never be tolerated Street sense a must, aside from the money we make An oblivious image in time, w...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Romantic pain: 54 of 174
"Romantic Pain" Across the water, beyond this sea A distant land, entraps a part of me A place once traveled, such beauty fulfilled Only one thing better, her name was Camille A barrier of language, so little it meant Cobble stone we traveled, by foot it was sent A twinkle in her eye, made my heart skip a beat Holding hands ...
