Thoughts of a Runaway

 If I saw me through your eyes,
Would I laugh or would I cry?

And if I were to die tonight,
Would any tears cloud your sight?

But if these words were said to you today,
Would kindness be in the words you'd say?

Author's Note

Just a short poem I wrote

Reviews

[The Scholar]

Nice use of rhetorical questions to arouse thoughts and further questions.
The first stanza was my favorite--it had me confused at first, which actually turned out to be a good thing, since the entire poem is meant to provoke thought, as Aianarie said.
And ah! what a question. If I were to die tonight.....

Well done!

Good subject choice. A lot of people have wondered about something similar, if not the same thing, before. If you write about things that people find impactful, people read them.
I loved it. Short and simple, and very impactful.

THIS LINE. Love it. really good poem

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is short. A lot of thoughts create by the strong statements. I tell people. If you desire a escape. Have the needed tools to survive and go forward. The questions allowed the reader to feel the pain and hurt. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poem.
