All Alone and Myself

Someday we all have to grow up

Why?

Do you keep yourself on a leash

While society laughs at you

Why do you care?

They know you're special

So move on 

 forget them all 

You need to know

That someday you'll be alone 

Because friends aren't forever

What? 

Do you need people 

Keep telling you how beautiful you are 

Because you don't believe it 

Someday you'll be all alone

Everyone will go eventually 

Someday you'll be alone

Hey 

Society wants you be like them

Boring and depressed 

Just like every teen today 

It keeps PRESSING YOU

To be like them

But you let out  NO 

So loud because 

Thats you

Someday you'll be all alone  

Friends aren't forever 

Better treat yourself like 

King or Queen 

Now

My mind Keeps making 

Statementes about them

Why do we defend how they are? 

They want you to change 

Why not be like what you want to be?

Listen to yourself

stop crying about how everyone doesn't like you 

Why ?

Do you actually expect the people care?

only friends and family care about you 

So you better like yourself

You'll be all alone 

With family or friends 

Someday you'll be the last of them

A Broken Dinasty 

Better of alone then 

Being put in stupid rules 

So grow up its time to move 

It's time to move 

It's time to move on 

(Don't pay attention to them) 

We'll all be alone

We'll eventually grow up

Intense and very strong felt

You can't love the world , unless you love yourself
You love yourself in solitude
Away from the noise

''Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf's a flower
But only so an hour
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay''


-Robert Frost

[Lizardo]

Thats a beautiful line Shaun...
Thanks for the review my friend :)

you're welcome
i really liked yours


the quote is from one of my favorite poems
it's about childhood and growing up

which is the same thing your poem seems to be about

it's also taken from one of my favorite books/films I read at school last year and I quote from Johnny to Ponyboy...



“I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new, dawn. It's just when you get used to everything that it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That's gold. Keep that way, it's a good way to be.”

― S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

[closed]

the difference here from your poem is that S.E Hinton is saying that rather than change and grow up, we remain kids forever at heart and never let life change us

to stay gold

[Cool Girl]

I love that poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost..

The Outsiders is a good book. It's one of my favorites actually :)

One of my favorite lines of the whole book was "Stay gold, Ponyboy.."

that's mine too

[andrew mitchell]

yep we all grow up sadly.and you can't be someone else or then you become a second imitation , You have to be yourself cos you are an original, one and unique, nice write

[Lizardo]

Thanks Andrew, I know that the poem didn't quite rhyme but I felt like I should write it like that.
Thanks for the review :)

[Coyote Poetry]

The sad part. The words you wrote are true.
"We'll all be alone
We'll eventually grow up"
I communicate with one from from High School. life will steal our time. Maybe with Facebook and other things. People are better? I liked the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thanks so much Coyote, It is true, we all grow up and in the process we miss friends from the past, but we meet new ones, but someday they'll go too.
Thanks for the great review, you're reviews are always appreciete it

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome.

Growing up is something everybody has to do, and sometimes, during that transition, friendships are lost and we can end up drifting away from our families. However, we can prevent anything from ever happening to our relationships if we just try to keep them up and running. Once again Lizardo, you have done a fantastic job with this poem. I could feel quite a few different emotions behind the words; happiness(very slightly), sadness, and dare I say a little bit of anger? It's not easy to incorporate many emotions into one single poem, but you've managed to do it quite well here. Keep it up, my friend :)

I give this poem a 95/100. Awesome work.

[Lizardo]

Thanks Dan :) Hapiness, yeah kind of, sadness and yeah a bit of anger because I feel like sometimes people try to change you to become like them, but they'll end up alone if they go doing that to everyone.
Thanks dan :) I have question though, should I make it rhyme a little? so it can have a nice flow?

[DoormanDan]

Some poems really do better with more focus on getting the emotions out than trying to rhyme. If you tried to rhyme this now, it might seem contrived, and would detract from the emotional charge of the poem. So I would say leave it as it is now :)

[Lizardo]

Thanks dan :) I'll leave it as it is

[dan]

And then the day comes when you all reach maturity (I did too) and realize that it's not all about being like everyone else, that there's a lot of satisfaction in individuality...that everyone CAN be different and still be together, NOT alone. The day one realizes that all the youthful worry was pointless is the day one feels comfortable in one's own skin. Then one is ready for life as it really is. take care...dan

[Lizardo]

Your wisdom is good dan, I like it. Maybe, because I'm thinking of this maybe because I'm in that process, leaving everything behind to grow up and become 'me'.
Thanks for the review dan :) you are always appreciete it

[ANTO]

It has a lyrical quality to it Lizardo. It brimming with positivity (no surprise there) and straight talking.
This line really resonated with me -
"...treat yourself like
King " - okay, I will. :))

If Tyler Durden had a sunnier outlook then he might have started Right Club instead of Fight Club and read this manifesto at the start of the alternative movie. Cool one my friend.

[Lizardo]

Thanks Anto :) It is good to see you visiting here :)
I mean its true because we usualy treat ourself like trash or something worse when we are something beautiful. everyone is, we just don't realized it.
Thanks for the review my friend
