I forgot to tell you,
this is nothing important,
that nothing really matters.
and history won't change.

I forgot to tell you,
we can't change the world.
and that all the pain we go through,
will mean nothing in the end.

I forgot to tell you,
that we will not survive,
our memory will fade,
and our dreams won't be realised.

but above all this!
I forgot to tell you,
that though we may well fail...

we will not stop trying!


I'm back, and with grammer, perhaps it's not really me.

Dream, there is alot to be said for dreams, even if theres is no chance it will come true. There is comfort in the knowledge you can still dream of it. Nothing great was acomplished without detailed planning, no plan was ever drawn up without a dream of an acomplishment. They did not build the apollo rockets until after man dreamed of reaching out and touching the stars. How? How is irrelevant, as long as there is a why, and the why can be simply "I want to!", the how will be worked out later.

Holy Wick of Strangeness! What a depressing poem! That is all I have to say really. Nothing really wrong with it, apart from the fact it made me contemplate getting the scissors out again and cutting myself out of life. I kid of course, good work... try something happy next time! BUNNIES, LOVE, DANCING, anything but "ITS ALL POINTLESS AHHHH THE VOIIIIIIID"  Grin

I like it. A bit uplifting actually. I'd delete the period after world. Probably some other bit of criticism I could add, but it escapes me.

Did I mention I liked it?

Peace,

you want ME to do capitals? doesn't happen. And there is nothing wrong with starting a sentence with and. despite what you may have been told, it is language and rues are made to be broken.

I know I know,
me getting to the point where i am criticising the little things means that I cant find anything wrong with it (basically just take it as a complement),
