I will unleash my soul.
Letting my fingers type freely,
without much thought at all.

It pains me to understand completely.
Knowing that it could never be,
when I have always thought about it, oh so humbly.

I know you read my work but why?
Has any of it ever made you cry?

Laughter, happiness, love and joy.
I am definitely not some little boy.
You cannot have me as a toy.
Was it not I who acted coy?

I wonder if...

I have experienced to much pain,
yet still the whole world I have to gain.

I wonder if...

Consider me eccentric please.
No one here knows me at all.
I think that might be the problem --
One that I will not fix.
What I have said is personal enough,
unless you wish to pry.
I do answer any and all questions.
I dare you all to prove me wrong.

I wonder if...
Anyone was wondering what I was wondering?
I'll answer that one too.
You need only to ask.

I loved the line
Consider me eccentric please.

I was confused by the rhyme-no rhyme at first, but now I like how it all comes at you in a rush like that. The first half is a little meaningless angst-y, but you did it well. The tormented writer is a common image, and you successfully injected something new into it.

I don't think the rhyming works so well ["I know you read my work but why?/ Has any of it ever made you cry" and the following stanza, especially]. Everything else, I suppose I can see it there, but it's hard to find beneath the structure, and I'd strongly advocate for you to write a non-rhyming version and see how it comes out. In general, there is not alot being said that I haven't heard before; maybe see if you can think of the topic/approach it from a new angle.



I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
