The Night Parade

Do not judge without knowing

Welcome all spectators

To the night parade

Please do not be alarmed

By the cold air that floats by

Please do not be scared

By the spirits that roam on

Isn't it strange

How many people think they know us

And are scared of what they think?

But yet, they don't have a clue

We were formed for a reason

A reason they ignore

But I can assure you

If they really knew our place

They would welcome us

They see the goblin's green flesh

And scream "Monster!"

I see the goblin's heart

And preach "Life"

Their ignorance is their fountain of fear

Fearful of what they don't understand

Oh, if only they could see

The true beauty that marches with us

Let me tell you who we are

We are loving creatures

Cast out for our differences

But now we have returned

But not for violence or a rebellion

Something so much greater

Something that can not be explained or told

Only felt

I do not ask for you to join us

Only to see us for what we are

Alive, and full of love

Very cool my friend. This was nice.

[trainwreck]

This had a great theme! I love your idea and the way you sort of fleshed it out. To be created for a reason people ignore. That just is thought provoking in and of itself!
Great job.

[s y e]

You have some great lines in this write, really nice!

[Annabelle Lee]

awww. this is sweet! Me loves it!

[Jagger Cyde]

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

"I do not ask for you to join us, Only to see us for what we are, Alive, and full of love." I love it. Its basically an example of "Don't judge a book by its cover until you have read it." Amazing ink my friend.

[Jagger Cyde]

Thanks. This is one of the times i actually liked my ending.

[Be myself!]

Your welcome. Well, I shall continue to read your work. I mean, who will read a 16 yr old's work better than a 16 yr old. lol

[Baby Ricochet]

Fountain of fear. Good line bro

[Jagger Cyde]

Thank you. I assume your comment was serious. Sometimes It's hard to tell with bro inserted. But nonetheless, that was probably my favorite line in the poem.

[Autumn]

It is truly a masterwork, it does reflect with perfection that what you see is not to always be trusted. There is more than meet the eyes.

It actually reminds me of Crique du Freak like Chandlert pointed out. Very emotional, and truthful.

[Jagger Cyde]

After three people have made the comparison, the book is looking very tempting. Thank you for the review, I hope it was honest.

[Anna]

This is an absolute master piece. paragraph 5 and 6 were incredible, you did an amazing job writing them. This could almost be titled my life. I've been trying to put a similar thought into words for a while now and you've done it perfectly. I'm envious of this and wish i could call it my own. Congrats on a brilliant piece.

[Jagger Cyde]

Thank you very much. I'm sure the thoughts expressed in the poem are shared mutually by many.

[chandlerl]

This was amazing, it reminded me of the cirque du freak series i read as a middle schooler and that is still to this day one of my favorite series. Favorited.

[Jagger Cyde]

Thank you. I can't say I've read that series.

[Resuri]

I've read those books too! Ahah, I can see why you thought of that. Good work Jagger. C:

[chandlerl]

they're really good books.

[Resuri]

Totally!! Darren Shan was my favorite author when I was younger.^^

[Jagger Cyde]

I may have to check these out sometime.

[Resuri]

You should. Its a wicked serious. Though, book 1 is a bit boring.Oh! Never watch the movie, Cirque Du Freak, it's utter crap.

[chandlerl]

yes, never watch the movie it ruins it.

[chandlerl]

yes, never watch the movie it ruins it.
