Thousand Yard Stare

With its own affairs

Thank you to all who commente. I thoroughly appreciated it.

I really thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It has the potential to have a tune put to it, it could have easily been put under poems, but it is definitely melody worthy. This is also very eerie, I enjoy the feeling it creates. You did a wonderful job. I also really like how you ended it, the reader/audience is put into suspense expecting something more, but it is always fun to make up your own ideas.

I like this. It's so haunting, and it describes perfectly the way a thousand-yard stare looks. Have you ever seen someone who was actually like that? because i have. you nailed it right on the head. It's also so tragic that the kid is a 10-year-old. I also like the last stanza. I look at the way we conduct charity, from the third-person, of course, and I feel that way, though I am not actually a victim.

Heyhey

So I'll go ahead and do some reviewing
I liked the poem , it was very straight forward and carried a good message. Horrible memories hunt everybody for ages especially when you have seen too much as a kid. It's a good topic to write about and I wish you would have taken it further. It kinda feels like you just left it there hanging but the reader wants to see a full though, an ended idea so they can give their full opinion on it. If not out loud then at least unconsciously. But in general it was a good poem I really like the title of it , makes you want to read the poem. And it was worth reading
