I've never seen a wound
So open
I've never seen a person
So broken
I've never seen
Tears fall so much
I've never seen
Somone so touched

And yet I've felt
The exact same way
And if I'd looked in a mirror
I'd have looked the same
I cry the same tears
Every night I lay awake
And I dream of a day
Where my life, someone would take

I've never seen somone so open
Until today
I've never seen somone so broken
Not in this way
I've never seen so many tears fall
All of them filled with pain
I've never seen someone build such a wall
Just to stay sane

Okay, out of all you've written, this is definately my fav. I can relate to it. When I got about half-way through the first stanza I was kinda expecting the same angst that's posted everywhere, but I love the conclusion, it goes somewhere, it doens't jut wallow around in the same emotion.
I don't remember if it was the last one you posted or the one before, but I said it needed more of a conclusion, you've got that in this one. And as always, nice job with the rhythm and rhyme.

The funny thing about this poem is it can go two ways. Either it could be that I have finally found someone that has gone through what I have, and we are like mirror images... Or it could be the fact that I have finally discovered that I have been like this, that I have built a wall. Thanks for the comment, I enjoy hearing your opinion (as always). And not all of mine rhyme, I just usually seem to like those ones more. Haha, in fact, I am almost running otu of rhyming ones, out of my 300-some poems lol.

Well, tata for now! (TTFN!)

It rhymes without being sing-songy. Good.

Maybe even out the line lengths from stanza to stanza. The first and the last match, some long lines some short, but the third stanza is kind of rolly-poley.

Fix the spelling of someone. It comes up somone a couple times. Darn those typos!

Think of a title for it and ya got it!
