She dwelt amid the untrodden ways
beside the springs of dove
a maid whom there were none to praise
and very few to love

[REDHEAD24]

in a pickel - really wow !!!

it sums me up because people always think im having a good time . wehn im out with my friends im the life and soul , the one with the storys the one a bit off the wall , but deep down i feel very lonely and isolated and this poem really sums me up , people have no clue as to what goes on , too far out all my life and not waving but drowing - sums my life up completly
i love poetry xx

Life is a challenge � meet it.
Life is a gift � accept it.
Life is an adventure � dare it.
Life is a sorrow � overcome it.
Life is a tragedy � face it.
Life is a duty � perform it.
Life is a game � play it.
Life is a mystery � unfold it.
Life is a song � sing it.
Life is an opportunity � take it.
Life is a journey � complete it.
Life is a promise � fulfill it.
Life is a love � embrace it.
Life is a beauty � praise it.
Life is a spirit � release it.
Life is a struggle � fight it.
Life is a puzzle � solve it.
Life is a goal � achieve it.

I know a girl with the golden touch
She's got enough, she's got too much
But I know, you wouldn't mind
You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all if it mattered so much

But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, their your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, 'Oh, she is changed'
You know what they mean
Well they mean, they're just jealous
Because they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

The kind of girl, yeah she's never alone
You leave a thousand messages on her phone
But you know you never get through
You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all if it matters to you

But then all, they know is how to put you down
When you're there, their your friend,
But then when you're not around
They say, 'Oh, she is changed'
Oh you know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
They wish that they could do so well

I saw my girl with the golden touch
Give them a taste but not too much
I just can't listen to the words of fools
But don't give away too much
Someone will need your golden touch

Don't know if song lyrics count but that's ^^^ what someone said summed me up recently.

To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
e e cummings

I like the one that goes something like:-

"When I am old I will wear purple
with a red hat that does not go
and does not suit me........."

I dont want to be a meek and mild old lady
Im going to give 'em hell...............

I went through a huge state of frustration and depression once due to ill health stopping me doing even the simplest of things. Its not a poem but the words from the tune Comfortably numb by Pink Floyd were spotless to how i felt at the time. I was literally numb!!!!!!! I had blocked out all feelings cos I was in a bad place!!
