perhaps it's not that she wants attention but wants to avoid negative attention maybe her adjustments are just fixes maybe her vanity is just insecurity
OMGosh thisisincrediblehowdidyoudothis?? This is actually my favorite poem I've read so far this month what the heck?! I never would have thought of that, but like, it makes total sense and kind of describes my life right now. XD

many times when I think of my old self i remember that the younger me did not care as much as me she didn't care who was in the seat next to her or what she revealed about herself and she didn't regret every (how do i say this?) single (is that the wrong phrasing?) wrong (oh god that sounds mean) decision (i'm sorry this is depressing) she made sometimes i envy her because i could always go back to being that but would people let me? would i let me?
The problem with quotes found on the internet is that they are often not true.
perhaps we are friends because we are very similar not in our interests but how we act they giggle at you when you are a little too excited and exchange grinning looks at each other when you take something too seriously just like they do to me we both spew out things for people to laugh the color of their skin off they try to hide it but I think you know about it and you just laugh it off as if it's nothing which it is and that's how we're different i care that it's wrong but you dust it off your shoulder like it's a silly mistake which it isn't and i realize that you are just who i used to be carefree and careless and i wish i was you but i also hate how you act

Um Woah!!! I love the concept of poem 3 - very creative and impactful form - wonderful execution of a cool idea! Also really enjoyed the premise of comparison between the tree and the sapling in poem 7 - you're doing great!
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to reading more!
you should know i am a time traveler & there is no season as achingly temporary as now
Hey, Ant ^^ Poem 8 is really relatable and captures the idea of being so similar to someone but inexplicably different well. And poem 3 is just a fascinating way to write a poem!! Very impressive ^^

Maybe we are all stars in the sky shining, plastered up high. We lay in the dark night bed only to be seen when you lift up your head. Sometimes we are the sun, spreading warmth until the day is done; And others are the moon reflecting our light like a silver spoon. Sometimes the moon blocks out our light plunging the Earth in a chilly night, no light by the dandelion glare, no light by the stone gray flare. And at those times of cold, there is one minute of darkness to uphold. But after the eclipse’s time has passed, you find yourself still steadfast, shining, giving off warm rays a generous warmth that will be always. Each one of us is a twinkling star, our light shows just who we are.
Paper white, fluffy clouds floating above the chaos of the earth in misty bliss. In some ways, we are much like them. The clouds glide in tiny steps across the sky, blue as a baby blanket that can hug you gently or suffocatingly. They collect and release water for hard rains and harsh snowstorms or tender drizzles and fluffy snowfall. And there is always the flash of lightning and the bolt of electric anger. They move ever so slowly, in hopes they can go many miles over many cities and farmlands without dissipating into the atmosphere where there is simply air and the border to the vacuum of space. And most of all, the clouds look light and free, but they are heavy, especially carrying water but no one really considers that, or even cares that clouds do that much.

@AkuRashomon thank you so much, it means a lot to hear that! I actually wrote a haiku because I didn't have time to write a longer poem, but I can't believe you like it that much!

CLOUDS. I LOVE CLOUDS. and i love your cloud poem so much :3 the description is so vivid, and it's such a great observation that clouds are heavy with water but people don't really notice or care (this has absolutely changed my perspective on clouds). you're doing awesome, Ant!!
First of all, I couldn't believe I stopped by your thread earlier. Secondly I love your haiku's! XD And I must say poem 10 is my absolute favourite. From the title until the last line, it keeps you reading ^^
I think I've been watching too much of the Flash lately that this has turned into my fav line <3 (that's just me)
And there is always the flash of lightning and the bolt of electric anger.
You've been doing a great job Ant! Good luck on the rest of your NaPo!!
