Exist

If you'd take any notice
I would look at you
If you'd take any notice
I would talk to you

If I thought you'd listen
I would help you understand
If I thought you'd listen
I would explain

You can carry on thinking
That I am a stupid little girl
You can carry on thinking
That I haven't grown up

But...

The further you slip away
The closer I become
The further you slip away
The more I long to exist

It was a short but sweet poetry. I liked the parts where you repeated the same line twice in one paragraph. You could have written a bit more but It's good anyway. I especially loved the part where you said 'but'. Emotions are displayed through this poem. And I also like the way you wrote the first words in bold. It was a good idea. Keep up the good work!

Hey, shiney1 here :)

I like this poem. It is short and sweet, but nonetheless interesting. And I like how, bit by bit, it revealed the point of view, instead of making it known from the beginning.

But the bolds kind of distracted me when I came to them. Maybe you put them there for emphasis?
But really, the same type of font should be used throughout a poem, and if you want to emphasize something, put more feeling into that or organize the layout of the poem to fit that.

That's it from me. This was very nice. Keep writing!
